301: Slim Pressure is an intimate homage to the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virgina), crafted by a prodigal child of the area. An ode to the beauty of Black women and community pride, 301: Slim Pressure aims to illustrate determination while beautiful—glorious.
A vivid expression set against a backdrop rich in warm tones immerses the viewer in a space where every brushstroke contributes to an evocative representation of character. The emphasis on her 301 earring, challenges conventional portraiture by uniting elements of personal identity with broader symbolism. Through its intricate textures and careful composition, the work opens pathways to explore contemporary identity and self-expression, offering a compelling commentary on how personal and cultural markers define individuals within modern society.
