Sacred Identity

“Sacred Identity” refers to the understanding that a person’s worth, purpose, and essential self are rooted in a divine connection, rather than worldly achievements, status, or external factors. 

This striking mixed-media piece centers an African father, his profile etched with sacred markings and adorned in vibrant beadwork that speaks to heritage, dignity, and ancestral pride. Cloaked in red, he stands as a symbol of quiet strength of protector, provider and spiritual anchor.

Following closely behind, is the mother and children, echoing the rhythms of daily life and the generational journey of love, labor, and resilience. From the textured backdrop to the symbolic comb in the corner, every element honors Black identity, cultural continuity, and the sacred role of the family. 

This is more than art—it’s a visual hymn to legacy, grace, and the enduring power of presence.
