Why This Marcus Garvey Portrait Matters Now
Hurricane Melissa was not just a natural disaster, but a moment of reckoning. Homes were lost. Families were displaced. Communities across Jamaica were forced to confront vulnerability, resilience, and the urgent need for collective strength.
In times like these, Marcus Garvey’s words feel less like history and more like instruction.
This portrait was created in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa as a reflection on power; however, not power over others, but the power to rebuild, to organize, to reclaim dignity, and to rise from devastation stronger than before. Garvey’s legacy reminds us that recovery is not passive; it is intentional, disciplined, and communal.
TWRJ Artist Statement
This portrait of Marcus Garvey was created in the shadow of Hurricane Melissa, a moment when Jamaica was reminded of both its fragility and its strength.
We portrayed Garvey not as a figure of the past, but as a voice for the present. His words on power speak directly to communities rebuilding from loss. Power is not abstract. Power is real hands clearing debris, real neighbors supporting neighbors, and real resources flowing where they are needed most.
This work exists to honor those rebuilding today, and to remind us that resilience is not accidental... it is inherited, practiced, and defended.
We hope you will enjoy it for many years to come.

- Collector Value: Scarcity ensures that each owner holds a meaningful and lasting piece, not a mass-produced image.
