Description: By Legacy honors the resilience and voice of ancestral identity through the presence of a male figure wearing a traditional African lip plate—a powerful emblem of cultural pride and spiritual grounding. His piercing gaze speaks volumes about confidence and the beauty of culture.
Surrounded by vibrant orange patterns drawn from African iconography and ancestral motifs, the figure stands like a monument—rooted, regal, and unafraid. The textured surface evokes the layers of history, memory, and ritual that live within the body and spirit.
