Resurrection Story with Patrons
2017

Three monochromatic panels depicting stylized scenes with silhouetted figures and dramatic lighting. The first panel shows a profile of a woman with a flowing headscarf and dress, the second panel features a silhouette of a person with an afro against a backdrop of clouds and figures pulling on ropes, and the third panel presents a profile of a person holding a barometer, all rendered in a grayscale palette.
