Strange Fruit (Canvas Print)

Strange Fruit is a visual meditation on faith, lineage, history, and the search for spiritual truth. Inspired by the artist’s personal journey of exploring Scripture as a Black woman in America, this piece reflects on the parallels between biblical narratives and the lived experiences of Black people throughout history.
This painting invites viewers to reflect on themes of suffering, sacrifice, resilience, redemption, and transformation. Through symbolic imagery rooted in Scripture, the work explores the tension between humanity’s history of violence and oppression and Christ’s invitation into a new lineage—one defined not by bloodline or earthly status, but by the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Strange Fruit does not seek to provide simple answers, but instead invites curiosity, reflection, and deeper conversation. It asks viewers to consider the patterns woven throughout history, the stories passed down through generations, and the kind of fruit our own lives produce.
A powerful addition to any space, this canvas print serves as a reminder to examine our roots, nurture our spirits, and pursue the lasting fruit that comes from a life connected to God.
