Description
First place in "Ron Rage" contest here on FAA, August 2021.
A beautiful African woman from Ghana, dressed in the typical Asian kimono and decorative accoutrements of a Japanese geisha but using African fabrics such as Kente cloth . . . because culture and clothing are actually universal and much closer to being the same than they are different—once you realize we all spring from the same well of humanity. I make no apology for this “cultural appropriation”. It’s where the world is—or should be—headed: universal acceptance of each person’s uniqueness within the overall understanding that “we are all one.”

Beautiful work, Jayne!!! I love all the thought-out details and history put into your pieces! Congratulations, your work is Featured in "Mix Your Media"! I invite you to place it in the group's "Featured Image Archive" Discussion!!
Jayne Somogy replied:
Thank you so much, Taphath! Yes, I do put a lot of thought & research into my ethnic work, but even so, I do sometimes make silly mistakes. I just learned--too late for this one--that a kimono is closed left side over right! Definitely won't make that mistake again.
