A portrait of this woman on fire

I painted this self portrait in 2024 and it has only hung up prominently in my house in 2025. I call it an ode to Sara

home

of sex

a micro-poem on foreplay

of incandescent lovers

of the romance of reluctant lovers

Self love is unlearning the centuries old myths of black undesirability, Unlearning self-hatred Self-love is Sara-Baartma
