This painting captures the tension between vulnerability and resilience. Created during a time of personal struggle, it explores how identity and mood are shaped — and sometimes fractured — by inner battles and societal expectations of gender.
The figure, bathed in golden tones yet grounded in cooler shadows, represents the raw honesty of emotion. With closed eyes and a textured surface, the work evokes a sense of both retreat and release — as though the subject is both carrying and surrendering to the weight of their inner world.
This piece speaks to themes of identity, grief, and transformation. It invites the viewer not only to witness the artist’s journey but also to reflect on their own.
