“Zaire”

Artist: Richard Merchán

I fell in love instantly with Zaire. Art can sweep you away and leave you with a subjective story that lingers. Zaire’s subject is confident, hopeful, kind, noticed when she enters a room in a captivating a style that is uniquely hers and free to speak her truth. Juneteenth invites us to reflect on freedom as a shared human right—something to be protected, expanded and lived fully by all.
