Reconnecting with My Skin, Chelsea Afadzi

Reconnecting with My Skin

Chelsea Afadzi

This photo emphasizes the richness and purity of my skin through a dynamic composition that conveys my growth in self-confidence and expression, with the imagery of the leaves communicating the natural and historical beauty of my culture. As my art shifts into a representation of cultural significance and elevation through black art, this piece reflects the face of who I am and confidence in who I will become.
