WRAPT

This piece is about the kind of love that stays. The kind that wraps itself around you at night and says, “I got you.”

Just like a bonnet and a durag, real love is protection. It’s preservation. It’s maintenance. Not always loud, but always present. A covering that holds you through rest, growth, and even the rough seasons.

Love in the Wrap is a reminder that love isn’t just found in the big moments. It’s found in the routines. In the quiet. In choosing each other daily, like tying a scarf before bed.
Because care is resistance.
Because love is maintenance.
Because protection is beautiful.

About the Artist

I am a storyteller who paints with light. A photographer who wears many hats—but always comes back to the lens. As a Black woman, my relationship with my hair has been layered. Complex. Sacred. I’ve lived through the Sundays in the kitchen, the deep conditioners, the big chops, the braids that made my scalp tender but my spirit proud. Our hair is never just hair. It’s time. It’s investment. It’s identity. It’s protection. It’s protest. And it’s art.

This debut collection is my beginning, but also my becoming. It’s my way of honoring the journey Black women take with our hair—and with ourselves. Each photo is a chapter in a larger story—one of creativity, freedom, and self-love. I hope this collection allows you to see us more clearly, celebrate us more deeply, and maybe… learn something that softens your perspective or expands your understanding. Because every strand carries a story, and every story has something to teach.

This is more than a project.
It’s my truth.
It’s my offering.
It’s my why.
