Queen African - 2025
Collage on canvas | 80 x 100cm (31 × 39 inches)
From the Artist, Uche :
'I use thin collage strips to create movement, blending the face into the background. This technique mirrors traditional scarification but also reflects deeper wounds—emotional, mental, and societal. These ‘scars’ tell stories of resilience, the unseen battles African women overcome every day. It serves as a reminder that together, we can create a more compassionate, supportive, and inclusive society. As Nigerian model and activist Adetutu Alabi so eloquently puts it, 'You can be anything you want to be. Don't let your scars bring you down.'
