Self Portrait with Flag

2025, Linocut, oil-based on paper, 12x18.

Referencing Hyacinthe Rigaud's Portrait of Louis XIV, this linocut reimagines me wrapped in the African American flag. Created in both B&W and color, the monochrome print leaves open the viewer's interpretation: whether they see the American or African American flag, and whether I am m embody nationalism or cultural pride. This work reflects heritage, dual identity, and the inseparable relationship between Black and American histories.
