These images are a bold statement. The flowers no longer signify beauty but also fall into the saying of ‘giving one their flowers’. It’s important that we give people their flowers whilst they are able to still smell them. A lot of the time black women are overlooked for what they’ve achieved because of their race, gender or both combined. These women have and are, achieving amazing things right now. Impacting the world we live in their fields, doing it their way. We don’t often see black women as the faces of many things in our society as much as we should. This shop front display puts these ladies in a place they deserve to be. It also makes people realise that so many more black women should be highlighted and given their flowers.
