Summary
This print was created as part of an exploration in color and form with the challenge of working within a limited three color palette. I intentionally selected hues that not only balanced each other visually but also evoked a sense of Afrofuturism, a blending of ancestral roots with futuristic possibilities. The palette became a tool to express cultural resonance and imagined futures, grounding the work in both personal aesthetic and broader narrative. Through relief printmaking I was able to physically carve space for these ideas, bringing them to life in layered texture and tone.
