Queen KaFiCa  (Inspired by KFC). KaFiCa  grew up near the coast, where the once-clear skies were now filled with smoke, and the seas were clogged with plastic waste from fast food chains. But for KaFiCa, feathers always held a special meaning—they were a symbol of freedom and purity. As she walked the polluted beaches, she would collect feathers that had been dirtied by oil spills and trash, incorporating them into her designs as a powerful statement. Her art became a blend of traditional and contemporary, mixing feathers with discarded KFC packaging, acrylic, and oil paints. Each feather represented a hope for flight—escaping the environmental damage surrounding her and bringing her people’s voices to the world. KaFiCa's work symbolizes the fight to restore harmony between nature and humanity, using the very materials that contribute to its destruction. Her mixed-media pieces shine with glitter and feathers, embodying a message of resilience and rebirth.

Each painting available for purchase is a unique blend of art and storytelling. While these are printed copies of the artist's original work, each piece is elevated by the artist's personal touch. Dina Kabdolla will add her signature style to every order, incorporating elements such as resin, packaging, collected fashion pieces, glitter, and even carefully selected trash. Each painting will also feature hand-applied oil detailing, making it a one-of-a-kind artwork. All proceeds from Kabdolla's artwork directly support our family nonprofit,   Hope Road dedicated to empowering children and mothers from broken families in Africa and other underserved regions. By purchasing these unique art pieces, you’re not just acquiring art—you’re contributing to a mission of hope. Kabdolla’s vision is to use art as a vehicle for change, traveling to teach, inspire, and remind communities that creativity can ignite hope and transformation, even in the most challenging circumstances. Your support helps turn this vision into reality. Just as the girls in her artwork overcame challenges, so too can anyone who believes in the power of their dreams.
