"Broken But Strong"

"Broken but Strong" is an abstract painting that tells a story of resilience and perseverance, captured through the interplay of a heavily textured techniques. The earthy tones of tan, cream, and touches of black represent the raw, unfiltered aspects of life, while the thick, tactile textures of the painting—emphasized by the use of embedded cotton wound tape for wounds—symbolize the scars and challenges that have made me stronger. The layers of handmade papers reflect the complexities of healing, each layered into the painting adding to the depth of the narrative. Despite the apparent brokenness, the painting exudes a quiet strength, where every fracture and imperfection becomes part of the whole. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of vulnerability or hardship, there is an unbreakable force that drives us forward. "Broken but Strong" is a visual meditation on the power of resilience and the beauty found in overcoming adversity.
