afro.died, T. 2011

Created in 2011 by Rozeal (formerly known as iona rozeal brown), *afro.died, T.* is a mixed-media painting that depicts a woman in a luxurious setting. The bold colors and stylized figure of the woman, reminiscent of a geisha, are rendered on a golden background of swirling patterns. The artwork’s title and subject matter explore themes of identity, beauty, and self-expression, while the rich visual language of Rozeal’s work is both visually striking and intellectually engaging.
