Unbreakable Threads

Acrylic
12 x 12 inches

This piece is about how we protect ourselves—and how we show up in the world. 

Clothing becomes armor here, something we put on to survive, to stand tall, or sometimes to hide while we gather strength. Every layer carries intention: pride, resilience, and the quiet confidence of knowing who you are.

Inspired by the Black Panthers, this figure stands firm and unshaken, rooted in self-respect and collective power. The threads are unbreakable, woven in honor of ancestors whose courage still lives in our bodies and our choices. This is not just a portrait—it’s a reflection. A reminder that strength can be soft, style can be a shield, and identity is something we wear with purpose.
