Challenge beauty standards one curl at a time with Maya Alia’s vibrant digital art series Curls & Coils. This exhibit is an ode to the ways textured hair can transcend into a form of expression and identity for women of color. Vibrant illustrations portray a shared journey toward self-acceptance and empower those whose hair types have historically been considered subpar, not enough, or unkept. Each image celebrates the power reclaimed when choosing to exist unapologetically. Through bold portraits with symbolic flowers, Maya explores beauty standards, love, and culture to illustrate a story of strength and resilience.
