This is the third piece in the ICON series, titled The QUEEN.

The ICON series is a bold celebration of women in their full complexity—strength and beauty, identity and power, self-worth and presence. Each piece stands as a declaration, unapologetic and luminous.

The QUEEN confronts the true power of a strong woman. I often incorporate masks in my work—especially with women—to challenge the idea that what we see is the whole story. A woman’s outward appearance is only a fraction of who she is. Her deepest strength, vulnerability, and truth are revealed only to those who have earned the privilege of seeing it.

This QUEEN is not subtle. She is a statement. She commands the space and asks you to acknowledge her power, her compassion, her resilience, and her beauty—on her terms.

The palette is intentionally restrained. The focus is her eyes—direct, knowing, impossible to ignore. Her power is illuminated through her name: The QUEEN.
