“I’M SO PRETTY” focuses on the authenticity of culture and ancestral meanings behind headwear. The headpiece is a symbol of the crown in the crown is one of the most important human aspects from a psychological viewpoint. The crown is sacred. It is unique to each and every person. The woman you see here is from an East African tribe. She wears her headdress proudly showcasing royal blues, purples, and golds. The scale of her crown outweighs any of the negativity that she faces in her life. She wears her crown proudly as she treads forward, never looking back in her path. The scarifications on her face symbolize fertility and strength according to her tribal practices. She is not only a very confident woman, she is also loving of herself and others, nurturing in ways that no one else understands. She is authentically her.
