  • Why did you create this work?
    I wanted to highlight a Black woman whose artistry shapes and inspires. Solange’s work moves beyond music; her visuals, concepts, and storytelling push creative boundaries in ways that feel both deeply personal and culturally significant. To honor that, I created a vintage-inspired storybook that hold illustrations of some of Solange’s beautifully artistic visuals. This is the cover of the book.
