Use of tempera paint if the background. Also usage of oil pastels, color pencil and also ink pen.

Representing the old times from the 1900's and the old times my family would speak about it and the tremendous moments they would have. Also inspired by Jacob Lawrence to have no identity. However, still symbolic with the fist bald up representing black power and her Afro also representing black power still having symbolism within the piece.

Use of variation of oil pastels. Also use of ink pen and color pencil for the outlining.

It's representing myself actually having peace in my mind ( which is the title of the piece ). Also with my Grandmother date of birth and death engraved in the bench with the butterfly representing her. Very emotional piece for me.
