Harvest Mask (1994)
18w x 24h (in)

"Harvest Mask" is a meditation on what it means to finally reap the fruits of your inner work. A Senegalese-inspired harvest mask floats against kente cloth colors, surrounded by butterflies and moon phases, symbols of transformation, completion, and ancestral time. Here, the mask becomes both shield and mirror: a reminder of the homes our ancestors were forced to leave, and the self you’ve pieced together from what survived—rituals, memory, faith, love. The butterflies’ wings echo the artist’s belief that love is what lifts us into our greater future, even when the flight is hard-won. Hanging this piece in your home is an affirmation that your spiritual labor matters, your peace is not an accident, and your journey is part of something larger and older than any one lifetime. “Harvest Mask” invites you to see your own face in the mask—and to claim the season you’ve worked so hard to reach.
