Kiki Piper's mixed media artwork "Eternal Embrace" is a powerful tribute to her sorority, Omicron Xi. At the center is an adult lion tenderly holding a cub, symbolizing the sorority's values of harmony, strength, and eternal sisterhood. The monochromatic sea green, white, and blue color palette reflects the organization's iconic colors. Kiki skillfully layers magazine paper and paint to create depth, dimension, and her unique textural style. The piece celebrates the enduring bonds of love, protection, and community within Kiki's cherished sisterhood. Through her artistic mastery, "Eternal Embrace" invites viewers to ponder their own "familial connections" and the unwavering support found in close-knit groups.
