Tra, State of in Between, 2024, oil on canvas, 35.25 x 27.5 inches
As a painter, I explore femininity and the profound narrative of being a woman navigating the complexities of familial heritage and life’s adversities. My work blends classical elegance and modern vibrancy to reflect tension. Central to my practice is Tra– a piece showcasing my body cemented to a moment while my mind escapes through dissociation, confronting the trauma of sexual assault with unflinching honesty.
