A Slice of Freedom Revisited
"A Slice of Freedom Revisited" by Dantrel Boone
Regal, commanding, and deeply symbolic, "A Slice of Freedom Revisited" captures the essence of liberation. Draped in royal purple and adorned with West African imagery, a Black woman stands as a beacon of strength—leading her people to freedom with the effortless grace of a raised hand.
The unlocked handcuffs over her eyes symbolize the removal of imposed limitations, the breaking of generational chains. In her hair, the Sankofa bird comb—a reminder to look back in order to move forward—speaks to the wisdom guiding her journey. Boone’s work is not just a depiction of freedom but an urgent call to reclaim it, to embrace history, and to push toward a future defined by self-determination and power.
