Af3ca' is a re-creation of a piece I originally crafted around 2015. This time, I delved into the world of Copic markers and added intricate details with gold ink. The piece is an exploration of the powerful phrase 'Black is Beautiful', which has deep cultural significance and resonates strongly with many people.

One notable aspect of 'Af3ca' is that it lacks a background. This deliberate choice puts the focus squarely on the figures themselves, allowing their presence and message to take center stage. By stripping away distractions, the viewer is drawn into the intimate connection between the women and the powerful message they represent.

The absence of a background also serves to highlight the importance of the phrase 'Black is Beautiful' in its simplest form. It reinforces the idea that beauty doesn't need embellishment or context—it exists inherently within each individual and within the collective community.

In essence, 'Af3ca' is not just a piece of art, but a statement—a celebration of black beauty, diversity, and unity. It invites viewers to reflect on the beauty found in every shade, shape, and expression, and to embrace the richness of black identity.
