Bring rooted strength to your stitching with this elegant portrait of a Black woman whose afro, raised fist and tree-root body are drawn together in expressive modern linework. Branches spread across her torso and arms while roots extend below, giving the whole piece a grounded, symbolic feel that will speak to makers creating work around identity, resilience and pride. The black, brown, tan, white and orange palette adds depth to the facial features and silhouette without losing the bold impact of the design.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with 7 thread colours, it suits fabrics that can carry detail well, such as denim jackets, canvas totes, sweatshirt backs or sturdy cotton panels for framing. The scalloped outline helps the artwork read as one contained statement, so it sits neatly on the back of a hoodie, the front of a tote or as a featured panel on a cushion cover. With 12 size options from 3 inch to 10 inch, you can keep it compact on a pocket area or let the full figure and roots command more space.
