This image depicts a poised woman dressed in an African-Victorian floral gown, paired with a crisp white shirt and a Western-style tie, standing beneath a striking American flag. Photographed at the Eddie Bernice Johnson Union Station in Dallas, the work pays subtle homage to the legacy of the African American congresswoman while opening a broader reflection on power, identity, and belonging.
Set against the grandeur of formal architecture, the figure emerges as both resolute and contemplative — an emblem of the woman striving toward the American Dream. The fusion of African textiles with Western tailoring embodies a meeting of cultures and histories, turning the portrait into a quiet yet resonant meditation on identity, aspiration, and the courage to claim one’s place within the national story.
The series Roads Less Traveled unfolds as a contemplative exploration of movement and possibility. Created during an artist residency in Dallas, Texas, it traces unseen routes — those that connect memory, imagination, and the yearning for elsewhere.
The women inhabiting these photographs do not tell a single story; rather, each image gestures toward a different destiny, capturing the delicate tension between departure and arrival, between who we are and who we may become. In these imagined journeys, migration transcends geography to become an inner landscape — a map shaped by uncertainty and desire. Roads Less Traveled invites viewers to wander through this terrain, to recognize within its echoes their own search for belonging and transformation.
