This piece invites you into a quiet, powerful moment — a Black woman holding golden cowrie shells, hand-painted on a textured coffee-infused canvas framed by elements of a garden bed. Sunflower seeds, pennies, and delicate fake sunflowers are embedded in the earth-like surface, while a miniature shovel and gardening gloves are attached to the frame, evoking the nurturing act of tending to growth.
Inspired by the idea of participation, like Las Meninas, the viewer becomes part of the scene — stepping into the garden, connecting with the ritual of care and legacy.
Every detail is a symbol: cowrie shells speak to heritage and wealth, the garden tools to growth and nurture, and the earth tones to rootedness and resilience.
This work is more than decoration — it’s an invitation to hold space for nature, culture, and empowerment.
