Description

Colorful figurative abstract celebrating the beauty and life giving force of women. SHE is a FIERCE BLACK WOMAN exuding STRENGTH and HEALTH in all her pursuits. SHE is SOULFUL PEIRCING the darkness around her bringing HER LIGHT, HER ESSENCE into every situation. This version takes a quote from a Janelle Monáe song "Q.U.E.E.N." -

"Am I a freak for dancing around? (Don't you judge me, hey)
Am I a freak for getting down? (Hey)
I'm cutting up, don't cut me down (even when they cut down)
(You got to carry on)
And yeah I wanna be, wanna be queen
Even if it makes others uncomfortable
I will love who I am
Even if it makes other uncomfortable (cutting up)
I will love who I am"

Songwriters: Charles Joseph / Janelle Monae / Kellis Earl Parker Jr. / Nathaniel Irvin Iii / Roman Irvin

Artist Note - "This is a bolder take than the previous Special Edition 2. Interesting that I had come up with the theme, the name "Queen" before I found this quote. Even more serendipitous, once I found the quote and integrated it into the art, I looked up some information who Janelle was and found this quote for from a song called "Queen" Just amazing!"
