Born of Empire™ | Digital Artwork

Born of Empire™ examines the lasting human legacy of European colonization and the transatlantic slave trade. The marble textures represent the monuments and ideals of empire, while the central figure embodies generations of Black women whose bodies became sites of exploitation, survival, and endurance. The work reflects the reality that countless mixed-race descendants were born from systems of enslavement and sexual violence, creating family histories shaped by coercion rather than choice.

Rather than celebrating empire, this artwork asks viewers to confront the human lives woven into its foundations. It is a meditation on memory, identity, resilience, and the generations whose existence tells a history that monuments often leave untold.
