Roxanne's artist statement on the piece: "I am inspired by the stunning textile art of Bisa Butler. My technique mirrors Butler’s use of textiles to convey narratives, transforming the mannequin into a canvas that embodies the beauty and resilience of the Black experience. By using these West African fabrics in my pieces, I aim to honor the voices and stories of our community, advocating for representation and the significance of voting as a means of creating change. The uniqueness of each fabric serves as a reminder of the collective strength we hold when we support one another and uplift our daughters’ aspirations."
