"Queen of Hearts" is a tender yet unwavering homage to women of color, celebrating their profound strength while acknowledging the quiet battles they face in a world that has yet to fully recognize their immeasurable worth.

The composition features Oreo positioned atop the Queen, fighting against the systemic forces that seek to diminish minority women. A striking arm crosses the Queen's mouth, symbolizes the silencing women of color endure—their voices, experiences, and truths consistently suppressed.

The painting splits down the middle, with one figure rendered in color and the other in black and white, illustrating how humanity remains divided despite sharing the same space and existence. Inspired by playing card imagery, the Queen of Hearts serves as a call to love, honor, and fiercely protect our queens—mothers, grandmothers, daughters, wives, partners, and all women who navigate a world determined to minimize their worth. This piece stands as both shield and celebration, demanding recognition and respect for women too often forced into silence.
