‘Reflections’

‘Reflections’

$7,000.00

Handmade, one of a kind sculpture made from recycled material.

This sculpture symbolizes the history of women in fields across the South, engaging in back-breaking labor generation after generation.

Her wings are shaped by four figures---two bent and stooped from the weight of labor, two standing tall despite their exhaustion. Hunched over is a woman picking sugar cane, fingers rubbed raw; the second, a wash woman’s battered washboard, her arms weak from tirelessly scrubbing day in, day out.

Standing tall is a laboring mom, her bucket in hand, baby resting peacefully on her back. The fourth figure stands on aching legs after a hard day of work, her cotton bag slung over her weary shoulders.

“Reflections” speaks to the memory of the exhausting labor our ancestors’ bodies were forced to endure. Her pained expression and locs made of nails represents her hard life and necessary strength.
