Dahomey in the Cafe

29" x 29"

Resilient in its shape and form, the triangular composition of this drawing gives it the "fortitude" to stand on its own in a sea of negative space. And thus it justifies its existence, not by seeking to overwhelm the space but simply to blend with it. Syncretism has always been the path forward.
