Medium: Acrylic, silkworm cocoons and raffia on canvas
Size: 36 x 24 inches
Year: 2026
Swimming and water were never freely given to Black people. They were controlled, delayed, and in many cases withheld entirely. The hanging fibers and shell-like details in this piece echo hair, shorelines, and things shaped by time and touch. Water appears here not as leisure but as a place where permission, safety, and rest had to be negotiated. This is part of the Black Maritime Collection.
This is a one-of-a-kind original. Once it sells, it's gone.
Ships stretched and unframed, ready to hang. We recommend selecting your own frame to suit your space.
Payment plans available. 3- and 6-month plans offered at checkout. A 50% deposit holds the piece.
Please note: Domestic shipping is a flat rate of $300 added at checkout. For international orders, reach out before purchasing so we can discuss shipping options together — contact@tasaneeart.com.
All original painting sales are final.
