“Future Proof” refers to the idea of preparing for what’s ahead. In this painting, the title relates to the young girl wearing oversized red high heels. The shoes are too big, but she is wearing them anyway. This shows how girls often have to step into adult roles, responsibilities, and expectations before they are fully ready. The title suggests she is not unprepared — she is actively getting ready for the future. It frames her childhood as training for leadership. The dress, flower, and blue socks represent her youth, while the heels represent ambition and the adult world she will enter.In short: The title means she is equipping herself now for the future she will lead.

Proud Afro Grace

A young girl stands boldly in oversized red heels, symbolizing her big dreams and determination to step into a brighter future. Her pink glasses reflect a rural village scene, showing her rooted heritage and the inspiration she draws from her homeland. Carrying an oversized pink handbag, she envisions herself achieving abundance and success, gazing forward with confidence that her village roots will fuel her ascent to greater heights.

Heels to the future

The portrait captures a regal figure whose intense gaze embodies a “Bold Royal Vision,” linking her to African royalty and empowered leadership. The black facial markings—traditional scarification—symbolize cultural heritage, tribal prestige, and personal strength, enhancing her majestic presence and signifying a lineage of courageous African nobility. The gold‑blue earrings amplify her luxurious, authoritative aura, while the purple hue underscores her unique, sovereign identity.

Bold Royal Vision

This compelling portrait explores the essence of self through the image of a Black African woman whose presence is both bold and deeply expressive. Her full afro stands as a symbol of heritage, pride, and cultural authenticity, while the sunflower nestled within it represents growth, resilience, and the beauty of becoming.

Her eyes are  drawing the viewer into a space of reflection and truth. They hold depth, emotion, and untold stories—demanding to be seen, understood, and respected. Her lips, equally defined and striking, embody expression and voice, suggesting strength in both silence and speech.
 Identity is a celebration of self-recognition, African beauty, and the unapologetic power of owning one’s story.
