The Bobby Pins Modern Sculpture, titled Laid to the Side, is a striking 3D face sculpture that combines abstract art with profound cultural meaning. This contemporary piece features an innovative use of black bobby pins to adorn the face, creating a visually captivating and minimalist design that adds elegance and power to any space. Set against a high-quality white canvas, it serves as a bold reminder of personal empowerment and self-expression.
Laid to the Side is not just a sculpture; it is a powerful narrative about the relationship between African American women and their hair. Throughout history, hair has represented more than just beauty—it has symbolized identity, resistance, and a fight against societal norms. For generations, African American women have been subjected to societal pressures to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards, often leading to struggles with self-esteem and identity. The discrimination based on natural hair texture has been a harsh reality in workplaces, schools, and social environments, adding to the burden of mental health and personal worth.
However, Laid to the Side celebrates a transformative shift in this narrative. In recent years, African American women and many others have begun to reclaim their natural hair textures—curly, coily, and kinky—embracing them as symbols of self-love and empowerment. This piece symbolizes the courage to break free from narrow beauty ideals and to embrace one’s true self, regardless of external expectations.
This modern sculpture also serves as a broader symbol of self-acceptance and personal growth. It encourages individuals to let go of limiting beliefs, reclaim their worth, and stand tall in their authenticity. The message behind Laid to the Side is clear: beauty and self-worth come from within, and embracing your true self leads to alignment with the positive energy of the universe. When you embrace your uniqueness, opportunities and connections naturally follow, and you begin to thrive in ways that align with your true essence.
The Mind•Full•Ness® Collection is a reflection of my journey, blending personal experiences with universal themes of empowerment, growth, and acceptance. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on their own transformation and to recognize the beauty in their individuality. With Laid to the Side, you are not just adding a modern sculpture to your décor, but an artwork that inspires empowerment, self-expression, and a deeper connection to your authentic self.
This sculpture is an invitation to embrace your uniqueness and honor your personal journey. Let Laid to the Side be a reminder that true beauty is not defined by external standards but by the love and confidence you cultivate from within.
Thank you for allowing my art to inspire you!
Wishing You Happiness in Abundance!
