Since my childhood, art has been my lifelong passion and the primary way I express my convictions. As a black artist based in Dallas, Texas, I take immense pride in my culture and feel incredibly grateful for the gift of creativity and the ability to create. My artistic repertoire encompasses a wide spectrum, ranging from biblical art to abstract expressions. I set forth to challenge stereotypes, provoke thought, and to inspire.

This artwork focuses on a significant moment from the biblical story of Samson, specifically the scene where Samson, who had been blinded and imprisoned, discovers that his hair has regrown, signifying the return of his strength. The artist skillfully captures this moment by using a ray of light to illuminate Samson and breaking the darkness of what appears to be a dungeon.
In an effort to challenge the Western concept of this biblical character, the artist presents Samson in an Afrocentric fashion. by doing so, the artist aims to bridge the gap between the historical Western portrayal of Samson and the representation of people of color. this reinterpretation provided an alternative perspective that invites viewers to reconsider their preconceived notions and encourages a more inclusive understanding of biblical characters across different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
