The ‘Wild and Free’ collection is a powerful celebration of the natural beauty and cultural significance of Black hair. It delves into themes of resistance, identity, and self-expression, reflecting on the complex dynamics between conformity and rebellion. Each artwork serves as a profound statement on personal and cultural identity, using hair as an intentional social statement. Prints require about one week for production.
