A hauntingly beautiful and complex figure emerges in Wangechi Mutu's *Second Born*, a work that exemplifies the Kenyan-American artist's signature fusion of the human form with organic and fantastical elements. Rich textures and layered imagery coalesce to create a powerful feminine presence that speaks to themes of identity, transformation, and the African female body. This artist's proof, one of eleven outside the primary edition of 35 and published by Pace Editions, Inc., New York, underscores the work's collectible significance within Mutu's celebrated printmaking practice.
