This piece of art of American artist, poet and creative; Kendrick Lamar, is referenced from his song, I which is part of his album; To Pimp A Butterfly. The art piece like the song symbolizes the beauty of self-love and serves as a reminder to us that we should embrace the being we see when we look into a mirror. Our stories and also our persona or whatsoever else makes up who we are. The foundation of growth or anything else in life starts with oneself and then it rubs off on the rest of the world. In a nutshell I would say, “I cannot help the world until I help myself.” In order to give love I gotta have love for myself first. This artpiece was a collaboration of Saviours creative coloring and story telling for the finishing and on the other hand the first part of it was done by @luggyhangsmusic whose artistry focuses more on a monochromatic view of the artpiece using only a black and white shade. Creating this collaborative piece was amazing because each one of us had an opportunity to creatively do whatever we wanted with it and the result was beautiful. Lift up your head and keep moving; turn the mic up. Peace to fashion police; I wear my heart on my sleeve; let the runaway start; you know the miserable do love company; what do you want from me and my scars? Everybody lack confidence; everybody lack confidence. How many times my potential was anonymous; how many times the city making me promises. So I promise this; I Love Myself. - Kendrick Lamar

Blue in this case represents flow and because an eagle is a bird, it portrays our fight and flight of life. An eagle makes it look so easy because it’s so precise; it anticipates its prey from a mile away and attacks or executes with a perfect timing. We learn from it the essence of dominance and precision. It also teaches us that doubt is amateur and execution is everything when practiced with finesse and gut timing. Mind your ego doesn't mean we should disregard having one but it implies that we should be aware of it being apart of us and appreciate it for its strengths because once we do we're able to fly Black and Yellow symbolize the highs and the lows; turbulence or waves; experiencing flight or flow through life’s journey. It takes alot of precision and timing to have an Eagles instinct. Sometimes we are stuck wondering why we keep falling through the same life cycles and because we think we know it all. It is hard to see our own flaws. Our egos have blinded us. The fall tends to feel longer and more hurtful then; but when we lighten up and learn from the environment around us; new experiences flow through; then we can finally take flight like an Eagle. - Saviour Masange

This creation embodies Queen Nanny of the Maroons and also inspired by the clans story in present day Moore Town. Nanny was believed to have helped the Windward Maroons defeat the British during the guerrilla war which lasted for many years. The Maroons attributed their success against the British to the successful use of supernatural powers by Nanny, while historians believe that the Maroons mastery of guerrilla warfare and vast knowledge of the natural terrain played a significant role in their successes. Having failed to defeat them on the battlefield, the British sued the Maroons for peace, signing a treaty with them on 20 April 1740. The treaty stopped the hostilities, provided state-sanctioned freedom for the Maroons, and granted 500 acres (202 ha) of land to Nanny and her followers. Both legends and documents refer to her as having exceptional leadership qualities. She was a small, wiry woman with piercing eyes. Her influence over the Maroons was so strong, that it seemed to be supernatural and was said to be connected to her powers of obeah. She was particularly skilled in organising the guerilla warfare carried out by the Eastern Maroons to keep away the British troops who attempted to penetrate the mountains to overpower them. Besides inspiring her people to ward off the troops, Nanny was also a type of chieftainess or wise woman of the village, who passed down legends and encouraged the continuation of customs, music and songs, that had come with the people from Africa, and which instilled in them confidence and pride.
