About the Item

It radiates an emotional tapestry of self-acceptance and resilience. The vivid, textured face, surrounded by affirmations and symbols, evokes a sense of strength beneath vulnerability. Words like Love, Queen, and Pain reflect the duality of human experience—joy and struggle, self-worth and doubt. The artwork illustrates how we can feel deeply, connect with the courage it takes to embrace imperfections and find beauty in the raw and unfiltered emotions that define us. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
