THE PASSION OF MUHAMMAD II

This artwork pays tribute to the legendary Muhammad Ali, widely considered the "Greatest of All Time." Inspired by the iconic 1968 Esquire cover photographed by Carl Fischer. In my reinterpretation, Ali's portrait emerges from a vibrant tapestry of African wax fabric, embodying his global impact and his embrace of African ancestry.
