AFROFUTURISM
A Journey from Trauma to Freedom.
This series reveals Afrofuturism as a vibrant symphony of inner expressions. Fashion, like a worn coloring page, carries the weight of pain and trauma. I admire the beauty of people collectively fighting for their future, a powerful celebration of their own resilience. From my perspective, a tribute to the respect and splendor it brings. A collective struggle for a shared future, an anthem of empowerment that I want to show through these images.
Deep in the color palette of the soul,
Where fashion is not a substance, but reveals a story.
A worn coloring page, a symphony of layers,
Heavy as pain, as trauma, as carrying.
Afrofuturism, a look at the horizon,
Where respect and splendor go hand in hand,
People fighting together for their tomorrow,
In this journey I want to show them their own strength.
Dark in the image, static and heavy,
A burden of trauma, faces scarred by past experiences.
Movement explodes like screams in the night,
A collective dance of processing, of change, full of power.
A celebration of color, dance, and freedom,
Layers of clothing illuminated, like a liberated identity.
The hair, once tight, now dances free and wild,
A new beginning, a promise of a future revealed.
This journey, a spoken word in images,
Reveals the burdens we carry, but also the strength deep within.
Afrofuturism, a story of resilience and liberation, a journey from trauma to freedom,
an ode to the own evolution.
