About this work

This collage shows a person with a big, curly afro made of black-and-white textured paper. Their face is simple but strong, with a red lip. The body is cut from bold colors—pink, orange, and red—like overlapping shapes. Their hands are detailed, with visible fingers and tiny marks on the palms. The hair looks like it’s made from old book pages or newspaper clippings. The mix of textures and colors feels intentional, like a puzzle put together carefully. If you like this style, check out Tschabalala Self.
