Cthulhu

from $25.00

Cthulu

Description / Artist Statement

Cthulu reimagines the mythological monster through an Afro-futurist lens. Combining aquatic imagery, outer space references, and portraiture, the work transforms a traditionally fearsome figure into something more complex and introspective.

The piece explores themes of otherness, transformation, and imagination. By blending science fiction, mythology, and Black identity, the work challenges conventional narratives around monstrosity and belonging.

Measurements / Details

Mixed-media collage, watercolor, and drawing on paper.

Additional Notes

An early precursor to the artist's later explorations of Black Alien imagery and speculative portraiture.

Black Alien Series

The Black Alien series reimagines extraterrestrial femininity through a lens of Afrocentric futurism and cosmic wonder. Inspired by the ethereal aesthetic and avant-garde energy of FKA Twigs, this collection features otherworldly feminine figures that challenge traditional representations of aliens and femininity.

Blending surreal textures, celestial motifs, and bold Afrocentric elements, each piece tells a story of empowerment, mystique, and evolution beyond Earth. The series invites viewers to explore the intersection of the unknown and the deeply personal, redefining what it means to be otherworldly.
