A message for all black people who fear their light, The Crown Belongs to You serves as that. Depicting an animal that is no stranger to the community, the black panther holds power and grace as it lurks in the shadows. While it may not be seen to all, the panther waits patiently as the crown is bestowed to its rightful place on top of its head. With markings that nod to the iconic film, Black Panther, this is a piece that burns with pride for all who see it.
