Title: "Remembrance" Artist: S. King Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 12" x 16" Year: 2025
Description: Remembrance is a striking meditation on ancestral identity, feminine power, and the sacred language of tradition. The artists self-portrait bears an Ethiopian lip plate—an emblem of beauty, strength, and cultural belonging—symbolizing the connection between the artist and her culture. Her steady gaze and the sun-marked third eye suggest a heightened spiritual awareness: a wisdom passed down, rather than spoken aloud.
The layered background, veiled in textured script, reflects the stories and histories carried within but often left unwritten. Her crown and earth-toned modern adornments connect the past with the present.
