Woven Identity: The Checkerboard Spirit

from £50.00

The checkerboard pattern becomes both shield and symbol in this portrait of a faceless figure wrapped in keffiyeh-inspired cloth. Tonal contrasts reflect inner tension: tradition vs change, voice vs silence, belonging vs becoming. It is a work of balance, honouring nuance as strength.
