Original artwork description:

"Crown of Braids"
Materials: metal, air-dry clay
Technique: modeling, mixed media

The sculpture “Crown of Braids” presents a female figure where gentleness and serenity meet strength and resilience. With eyes closed and a faint smile, the face radiates calm and delicate beauty.

In striking contrast, the elaborate hairstyle rises upward in interwoven strands reminiscent of African braids — a symbol of cultural memory and pride. Transformed into a regal crown, it emphasizes dignity and inner strength.

The work explores the harmony of opposites: fragility and power, intimacy and heritage, softness and defiance.
