This striking piece features a young, dark-skinned woman adorned in a vibrant, striped fabric dress with a matching collar, both emanating from a roll of fabric at her feet. The dress, painted with ink, hugs her slim, curvy frame, while a black, shiny acrylic coat elegantly drapes over a royal palm frond backdrop. Her sculpted head boasts brown make-up, silver-painted lips and eyebrows, and handmade green eyes. Her hair is braided in hues mirroring her dress, creating a cohesive and captivating look. The absence of visible arms adds an intriguing, enigmatic touch to the composition.
