A wish is a prayer the heart whispers to the universe.
When breath meets seed, something miraculous happens. The dandelion releases its delicate architecture to the wind, carrying with it our hopes, our dreams, our most carefully held desires. In that single exhale lives the belief that speaking our wishes aloud gives them power, that naming what we want is the first step toward making it real.
In Morrison's vision, the act of wishing is a divine ceremony. An African American woman stands adorned in a breathtaking quilted dress, its panels a symphony of intricate patterns: crimson swirls cascade beside checkerboard paths, turquoise paisley dances with purple flourishes, each section telling its own story while contributing to the magnificent whole. The dress itself mirrors the complexity of dreams, how individual threads of hope weave together into something larger than their parts. Above her shoulders, purple wings unfurl like petals, suggesting the transformation that happens when we allow ourselves to believe.
This limited edition canvas giclee from Morrison's acclaimed Soul Sistas Collection demonstrates why the artist has become one of the most celebrated illustrators in contemporary African American art. A former graffiti artist and breakdancer who toured globally with The Sugarhill Gang, Morrison brings movement and music to every canvas. His work has earned multiple Coretta Scott King Illustrator Awards, and his distinctive style blends urban mannerism with abstract expressionism, creating what critics have called "social realism with a vibrant contemporary edge."
Morrison's Soul Sistas Collection celebrates African American women in moments of contemplation, joy, and self-possession. These are women existing fully in their power, whether sipping wine on a balcony, walking confidently through the city, or, as in "The Wish," participating in the ancient human practice of sending desires skyward. The collection honors everyday moments as worthy of artistic immortalization.
Available in framed or unframed options, this 24x36-inch giclee adds artistry to your space.
Perfect for those who understand that wishes are never frivolous. They are how we name what matters, how we practice hope, how we remind ourselves that the future remains unwritten and open to our influence. "The Wish" transforms any room into a space where dreams are honored, and possibilities live.

Frank Morrison
Frank Morrison (b. 1971) started his journey as a graffiti artist in New Jersey, tagging walls with spray paint. However, it was the opportunity to tour with music artist Sybil as a breakdancer, an influential high school art teacher, and a visit to the Louvre Museum in Paris that opened him up to new artistic and creative avenues. An early indoctrine into hip-hop culture can be seen through Morrison’s work, which has been dubbed a mash-up of urban mannerism, graffiti and abstract contemporary, and reflects deeply on the lost of human stories from past eras. Morrison strives to capture people as they are, translating emotions through his paintings and leaving a memoir of our life and times today.Most in stock items ship in 0 to 5 business depending upon the shipping method selected during checkout.
