This is more than a piece; this is a tribute. A love letter to the richness of melanin, the depth of my Afro-Latin ancestry, and the power of Blackness in its purest form. Gilded is not about adornment, it’s about recognition. A reflection of history, resilience, and the divine beauty woven into every shade of Black. Wrapped in gold, this piece stands as a reminder that we are not just seen, we are revered, cherished, and celebrated. Blackness is not a trend, not a commodity, it is legacy, it is artistry, it is power. With this work, I hope to remind the world that its beauty is infinite.
