Purpose: Analyze

This female face dominates the collage; yet, because of the way her head is turned, we see her headgear and necklaces more than her features. By choosing an image that focuses on the woman's accessories, the artist might be emphasizing African identity in general rather than the woman's identity as an individual. We might also note the beauty of the photo—both the woman's physical self and the photograph's bright colors and repetition of circular shapes.
