Kemet draws its name from the ancient Egyptian word meaning “the Black Land”—a reference not only to fertile soil, but to origin, continuity, and civilization itself. The work presents a ceremonial mask rendered as a mosaic of color, metal, and memory. Fragmented planes of gold, blue, red, and earth tones interlock to form a unified face, suggesting a culture assembled through time rather than frozen in it. The composition balances precision and rupture: sharp geometry against deep shadow, reflective surfaces against void. What emerges is not a portrait of an individual, but of a lineage—knowledge carried forward, broken and rebuilt, yet enduring. Kemet insists on Africa not as metaphor or myth, but as foundation. This print functions as both artifact and assertion: a visual reclaiming of ancient Black presence within the language of contemporary art.A limited edition digital print honoring Baldwin’s insistence that truth is dangerous only to systems built on lies.
