Alexis Eke, Illustrator, New York

Description

This digital illustration by New York-based illustrator Alexis Eke depicts the profile of a Black woman with voluminous dark curly hair. She is partially submerged in vibrant blue water, with a horizontal water line cutting across her face and the back of her head. A single glowing tear runs down her cheek, and tiny stylized figures interact with her ear and shoulders near small waves. In the upper left, a soft celestial orb glows against a cloudy sky backdrop. The rich color palette utilizes deep browns, warm skin tones, and vivid blues.
