Original Art- Rooted Forward

Rooted ForwardAcrylic on Canvas36 x 60 inches Rooted Forward explores the tension between inheritance and momentum — the balance of knowing where you come from while continuing to move with intention. Executed in acrylic on a 36 x 60 inch canvas, this original centers a contemplative profile set against a field of warm gold. The extended locks suggest motion and lineage simultaneously — history carried, not abandoned. The figure’s posture is inward and composed, emphasizing thought before action, presence before proclamation. The work reflects themes of identity, sovereignty, and disciplined strength. It speaks to forward movement that does not sever roots, but grows from them. Signed original.
