Original artwork description:
“The Girl in Cultural Frames (African)” is part of my ongoing exploration of how cultural structures influence personal identity. In this work, a female figure is integrated into an ornamental system inspired by African symbolic patterns — a visual language that has shaped social norms for centuries.
The piece reflects on the tension between inherited cultural expectations and the desire for personal freedom. Even when traditional frameworks lose their original purpose, they can continue to influence how we see ourselves, how we behave, and how we navigate the world.
Through geometric clarity and symbolic minimalism, I explore the boundaries between freedom and belonging, questioning which cultural “frames” support us — and which quietly limit us.
