"The Crossing" is a statement of identity, resilience, and migration—a tribute to the spaces in between where transformation happens. Originally painted by Nigerian-American artist Amara Eke as a senior in high school, this work tells the story of her family's journey from Nigeria to the United States—a crossing years in the making, filled with hope, disorientation, reunion, and rebirth. The piece captures the essence of two worlds colliding:
The tree of ancestry grounded in African soil
The skyline of a new future over the Statue of Liberty
The airplane windows that framed her first glimpse of America
The colors of struggle and sovereignty, tangled across time zones and identity
More than a hoodie, this is a wearable landmark; a visual memoir of diaspora, determination, and divine timing. This limited edition hoodie is for those who know what it means to leave, to arrive, and to still be finding home in both places. Wear your story. Wrap yourself in art. This is The Crossing.
