The Match That Set Me Free
$1,600.00
Inspired by the unforgettable strength of Bernadine in Waiting to Exhale, this mixed-media piece captures the moment when heartbreak transforms into release. Created with hundreds of individually arranged and hand-painted matches, the flames represent more than destruction—they symbolize the courage to let go, reclaim your power, and rise from what tried to consume you.
“The Match That Set Me Free” is a bold celebration of Black womanhood, resilience, and the freedom found on the other side of pain.
