Screw Head

Medium

Hand Cut Colored Paper with Spray Glue

Size

20 x 30

Made

July 2024

This piece is a tribute to the legacy of DJ Screw and the culture he built — a world where chopped and screwed beats with syrupy flows turned music into a hypnotic experience. At the heart of this work is a skull, pierced by a central screw, surrounded by a scattered collection of other screws, each one a nod to the "Screw Heads" — the devoted fans who ride the slow lane with pride.

The skull rests on a lush, velvet backdrop, a touch of luxury against the raw, skeletal imagery. It’s framed in an XL ornate white frame, a blend of elegance and edge, much like the fusion of soul and struggle found in chopped and screwed music.

The Screw portrait is a testament to a culture that finds beauty in the slow and heavy, in the imperfect and the real.
