Roots Sessions | Australia

Professional, yes

Roots Sessions is a collage of hand-painted elements on a digitally coloured background.

While bringing a modern message of empowerment and positivity to the world, Hempress Sativa pays tribute to the timeless foundations of Jamaican music that have transported themselves through generations to capture hearts across the globe. I’ve tried to capture that spirit with my poster portraying the elegantly powerful Sativa using her wit and creativity to transport her uniquely Jamaican messages to the world from her island home.

The type is used as an element(s) to support the balance/flow of a poster.
