Summer’s Quietest and Most Powerful Revolution 34 x 36-inch oil and acrylic on canvas work is inspired by one of Nayyirah Waheed’s poems about self-love. In this piece, a woman in her nude presents her back to the viewer, while she stares at Bouguereau’s “Birth of Venus” painting.

“I love myself. The quietest. Simplest. Most powerful. Revolution. Ever.”
―Nayyirah Waheed
