Butterfly Gele'

The artwork portrays a Black woman set against a black rectangle framed by a vivid orange border. She wears a sleeveless dress with a pattern of yellow teardrop shapes on a black background. Her head is adorned with a vibrant crown made up of various butterflies in multiple colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, and black. Additional butterflies in complementary colors flutter around her head, shoulder, and arm similar to an African headdress (Gele'). The woman's expression is contemplative, with one hand gently resting on her cheek. The composition combines realism with surreal elements, emphasizing the contrast between the vivid butterflies and the deep tones of her skin and attire.
