Girl Power | Limited Edition

In this empowering portrait, a woman adorned with a pink army camouflage durag exudes confidence and strength, her gaze steadfast and resolute. Her refusal to meet the viewer's gaze suggests a quiet inner strength, a self-assuredness that transcends external validation.

The durag, a symbol of Black culture and resilience, becomes a defiant statement, reclaiming the narrative of strength and beauty often associated with masculinity. The woman's delicate gold rings, a touch of femininity amidst the ruggedness of the durag, further amplify the message of girl power, demonstrating the ability to blend strength with elegance. In this image, the woman's durag becomes a symbol of empowerment, a reminder that true strength lies not in aggression but in quiet resilience and unwavering self-belief.

“Tying Up My Crown”

This photography collection explores the idea of nostalgia, reality and the desire to transport memories back to a time when life seemed brighter. The photos capture the beauty and elements of femininity at the present moment while also evoking a sense of longing for the past. Durags have been a part of Black culture for centuries, but they emerged in Western culture in the 1990s as a symbol of hip hop fashion and style.
