SUZIE OBAMA

Inspired by Michelle Obama, this work reimagines her through the animated lens of Susie Carmichael from the iconic ’90s series Rugrats. The piece merges animation, history, and symbolism—celebrating grace, confidence, and cultural impact across generations.

Dressed in the unmistakable outfit worn by Michelle Obama at the inauguration of Barack Obama, the figure becomes a powerful visual bridge between childhood memory and historic reality. The work honors Black excellence, representation, and the moment when possibility felt collective and undeniable.

Executed in acrylic and sealed with a high-gloss resin finish, the piece is presented in a gold frame, elevating its presence while underscoring its reverence and significance.
