I recently took a journey within my imagination. I found myself in a garden of what we needed and not what was in excess. I thought about my hair texture-- kinky, coily and spirally springing on top of my head. When I wake up. I have so many options with styling it makes me so happy to have this kind of hair texture. Most of the time its about the shape, not the definition of the texture of my hair.
I thought of the appearance of Afro textured hair altogether on different women and compared a garden of plants--- rather bushes. No head of hair or shape. It's beautiful.
I imagined the idea of having a bush growing out of my scalp, designed by bush cutters into an exotic shape. I thought about different flowers and things we find in a garden area and wanted to express a different idea for each type.
Bushes and afro hair in it's distinction from many hair types grows up and out.
It all came together for this short series of illustrations.
Embrace a hand at nature.
