dual ROYAL reflections
In this image, an elegant Nigerian woman stands at the center of the frame. She wears a crown inspired by the Farah Crown of Iran, lending her a regal and majestic appearance. On her face, she sports large sunglasses whose lenses reflect two iconic figures: on one side, the image of Amina, the Queen of Zazu, and on the other, the reflection of Queen Idia, a revered figure from the Benin Kingdom celebrated for her influential role in Nigerian history. The background features intricate Persian lines and calligraphy with artistic designs that create a halo-like, cultural aura. This composition forms a symbolic bridge between Nigerian and Iranian cultures, as the dual reflections in her sunglasses combined with the Farah crown establish a meaningful connection between African history and Iranian heritage. The contrast of colors in her attire and jewelry, along with the beautiful calligraphic patterns in the background, creates a magnificent, multicultural atmosphere. The style of the work is a fusion of conceptual photography, digital collage, and contemporary calligraphy, representing the interplay of diverse identities and celebrating the power and beauty of femininity within the context of history and culture.
