This wearable artwork merges painted portraiture, beadwork, lace appliqué, and braided textile techniques into a richly layered devotional garment. Inspired by spiritual healers, sacred femininity, and diasporic adornment traditions, the piece honors the power of intuition, beauty, and ceremonial dress.
The emerald field acts as a living backdrop for the figure, transforming the jacket into both portrait and relic.
