This image shows a bold, mixed-media portrait of a Black woman with a large head and wild hair. Her face is split down the middle—one side is a realistic dark-skinned face, the other a stylized, mask-like version with sharp lines and bright colors. The background is packed with scribbled words, small drawings, and collage pieces in reds, yellows, and blacks, including crosses, a sunburst, and scattered text. The piece mixes religious symbols with personal writing, creating a layered, almost chaotic feel. The title isn’t visible, but the mix of text and imagery suggests a story or struggle tied to faith and identity. Look up lithography to see how this printmaking technique works.
