Red1 2020

"Red1" (2020) by Monica Ikegwu is a striking portrait that uses a bold color palette to capture the essence of its subject. The use of deep reds and blacks creates a sense of intensity and drama, emphasizing the subject's features and expressions. The close-up composition draws the viewer in, creating a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. Ikegwu's work often explores themes of identity and representation, and "Red1" is a powerful example of this.
