Sweet Lafayette - In her hand, a cigar (IYKYK), not merely an accessory, but a statement and a gesture of liberation, challenging the viewer to reconsider preconceived notions of elegance and power.
Through this art piece, the black woman stands immortalized, a timeless icon of beauty, strength, and unyielding spirit, inviting all who gaze upon her to reflect on the narratives weaved into her afro, the stories held in her gaze, and the silent power of her presence in the speakeasy's shadowed corners.
