Paintings that are heavily inspired by my poetry, womanhood, nature and spirituality.
Unfazed – ZFG is both a statement of strength, self-possession and a meditation on personal boundaries. She leans into a textured brick wall signifying the strength of her boundaries, while a blooming cactus, adorned with protective spines, symbolises resilience and self-preservation. With textured dreadlocks, extra-large, round earrings and protective gemstone jewellery, the artist embodies a sense of empowered femininity. The raised gemstones add a layer of spiritual guard, harmonising with the cactus spines to reflect her protective armour. The fractured floor, threaded with cactus roots speaks to her fragmented self, grounded resilience, reclaiming space and growing through cracks with determined beauty. This portrait encapsulates an unapologetic sense of self, as the artist embraces her inner fortitude with both grace and defiance.
