Sea Island Kiss captures a luminous moment from Julie Dash's iconic film Daughters of the Dust—six Gullah Geechee girls dancing on a Lowcountry beach, their movements and clothing rendered with effortless elegance. The halos surrounding their figures, created through deliberate layering of blue ballpoint pen, transform the scene into something sacred and timeless.
In Gullah Geechee tradition, water carries ancestral wisdom, and this beach setting honors that spiritual connection. South Carolina's waterways are central to both the region's identity and its African diasporic heritage. This portrait celebrates the transcendent beauty of Gullah culture whilst acknowledging the profound connection between the living, the ancestors, and the waters that hold their memory.
