"Kelechi x Ogechi" (2021) by Monica Ikegwu (b. 1998) is a hyperrealistic portrait of two Black women holding bouquets of white flowers. The subjects' gaze and the floral symbolism evoke a sense of strength and resilience, while the muted tones and patterned clothing add a touch of contemporary style to the composition. The artwork's title suggests a personal connection between the subjects, inviting viewers to consider the unique relationship between the two women.
