This portrait, titled “Albert’s Locs”, highlights Albert, a man proudly wearing his dreadlocks, a hairstyle rich in symbolism and history. Dreadlocks represent a deep connection to the cultural, spiritual, and historical roots of Black people around the world.
Locs, which date back centuries, are associated with spiritual practices in many African and Caribbean cultures. They symbolize resistance, freedom, and the affirmation of Black identity in the face of oppression. Locs are both an act of resistance and a testament to belonging to a community proud of its heritage.
Locs are also an act of cultural reclamation, a way for many Black people to break free from stereotypes and Western beauty standards.
Through “Albert’s Locs”, I pay tribute to this iconic hairstyle, its central role in Black identity and culture, and to those who, like Albert, continue to affirm their heritage with dignity and strength.
