YOU TOOK THE MASK OFF, BUT DID YOU FACE IT?
​
We all wear masks - carefully constructed personas shaped by societal pressures, family expectations, and economic demands. The painting captures that raw, vulnerable moment when we finally muster the courage to strip away these facades. But the real challenge isn't just removing the mask - it's facing what lies beneath. Are we willing to confront the versions of ourselves we've hidden, to understand the fears and hopes that drove us to perform? This piece allows you to reflect on the masks we wear, the reasons we wear them, and the strength required to be truly authentic. It's a reminder that healing begins when we stop performing and start truly seeing ourselves.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
