An African woman, rendered in the warm colors of straw marquetry, embodying strength and dignity revealed through a meticulous geometric construction. Through her, I celebrate the beauty, power, and cultural richness carried within every gaze.

MDF panel base and custom-made MDF frame.

A blend of gold leaf, straw, and imitation-leather or fabric-effect paper.
