A vividly colored digital drawing honoring Harriet Tubman, the abolitionist and Underground Railroad conductor known in her own time as "Moses" for leading enslaved people to freedom. Titled Musa — the Islamic name for Moses — the piece draws a deliberate line between Tubman's legacy and the often-overlooked history of enslaved Africans from Islamic West Africa, gesturing toward a shared lineage of faith, resistance, and liberation across the African diaspora. Rendered in bold purple linework against a luminous gradient sky, Tubman is depicted mid-stride, arm outstretched and pointing forward — toward freedom, toward the light, toward a reclaimed history. The work is part of an ongoing exploration of African historical figures and the recapitulation of African and diasporic memory through contemporary digital drawing.
