A Portrait of Becoming (2026)
Dreams daring enough to act can take form.
Reimagining Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring (c. 1665) in an African setting, this work speaks to possibility beyond place, background, or circumstance. Where you begin or come from does not limit who you can become.
In many African timelines, becoming has never been a solo act. Dreams are held by people, carved by struggle, and strengthened by true community long before they take form. This project portrays the future we imagine for ourselves. The hands holding it are the people, lessons, sacrifices, and responsibility that stir that dream along the way.
This story is not stuck to gender or race, but about the ability to dream, grow, and the discipline of becoming.
