A figure with dark hair and rich brown skin wears a pale yellow textured shirt against a warm mustard ground dotted with cream circles, holding a rainbow-striped flag that sweeps across half their face in bold blocks of color. The composition balances geometric pattern work with expressive portraiture, creating a moment of quiet pride and self-affirmation through layered color and symbolic gesture. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
