Symone is a portrait celebrating beauty, individuality, and self-expression. The focal point of the work is the figure's vibrant red hair, which immediately draws the viewer's attention against the grayscale rendering of the face. By limiting color throughout the portrait and concentrating it within the hair, the piece emphasizes hair as a powerful marker of identity, style, and personal expression.
The portrait centers a Black woman with a gap-toothed smile, highlighting features often overlooked or deemed unconventional within mainstream beauty standards. Through contrast, color, and stylization, Symone honors the uniqueness and beauty found in self-definition.
