Mood Bold, Dreamy, Reflective, Thought-Provoking

Subject People, Faces & Portraits, Abstract Forms, Textiles & Pattern

Inspired by the Netflix Series 'Behind Her Eyes', this work focuses on our ability to choose our dreams and make them a reality. Words that mean everything to her embrace her as she opens her chosen door, words like love, freedom, nature, healing.

This art work also highlights the intricate hair patterns originally styled by African women and subsequently used by Afro Caribbean women, as maps of their escape routes away from their slave owners. This style is referred to as 'canerows' or 'cornrows' in the Caribbean and the US, as it resembled the neat rows of crops that they toiled in daily.

Meet the Artist

Reisha Felix

Reisha Felix is a self-taught artist from the Eastern Caribbean island of Dominica, now calling Toronto home. Her paintings put Black hair front and center, not just as a visual subject, but as a celebration of culture, identity, and ancestral heritage. Using a signature hot glue gun technique, she meticulously renders curls, coils, kinks, and knots that make each crown distinctly its own. Nature and Afro-Caribbean culture round out the world she brings to canvas.
