About this work

An African woman confronting the realities women face in society. The mask symbolizes the expectations, limits, and pressures that urge women to be silent, careful, or invisible.
Yet her uncovered eyes remain steady signs of awareness, courage, and identity. The grey tones reflect struggle, while the yellow cloth embodies strength, hope, and inner power.
Though covered, she is never erased. This work reminds us that women continue to see, feel, and endure, even when society attempts to quiet their presence. Her strength is quiet,
but unbreakable.
