She turned the sun and moon into a salve, Mawu and Lisa is a painting reflective of a 1996 Lil’ Kim positioned atop the fictional character Mercedes, from Katori Hall’s P Valley. Lil’ Kim and Mercedes are self-assured wild women. Together they create a totem of raw feminine agency, confidence and presence.
