Loc’d in Glory

Loc’d in Glory, 2025

Mixed media on canvas

20 × 15 × 5 in (50.8 × 38.1 × 12.7 cm)

Loc’d in Glory is a striking mixed-media portrait that blurs the line between realism and sculptural form. The subject’s gaze is calm yet commanding, framed by cascading textured braids that spill beyond the flat surface and into the viewer’s space. The addition of bold, hand-painted earrings in vibrant red, yellow, green, and black injects rhythm and cultural symbolism, grounding the piece in both personal identity and collective heritage.
