Born in Flames

Denita’s first time masking as Big Queen was 2019. She wanted to use a doll in her suit to represent the relationship between mother and child. White feathers symbolized new beginnings, and for this tapestry she opted for bolder colors and a form reminiscent of  a dream catcher.

The tapestry holds the mother figure matriarch in a protective embrace, centering the impending child as the most valued component amongst the jewels and lace. Resting in a bed of gems, this artwork cradles the doll as a mother would hold her newborn.
