Emancipation,
mixed media on acrylic,
dimensions: 39" x 39"

In Senegal, the woman needs to express herself freely, to have the right of free speech, to attain higher education and to experience life like all other women in the world. I am hoping for modest emancipation so that women can realize their true value, but not an emancipation that will turn the society upside down, because total freedom for women would not be looked on favorably by either the men or the women in this society.
