Embody is a deeply personal exploration of resilience, vulnerability, and authenticity. Painted in bold strokes on wood, the piece channels the dualities that often define my practice, strength and softness, fragility and endurance, the seen and the hidden. Every layer is an act of claiming space, a refusal to dilute emotion or identity. The textured surface carries both tension and release, reminding us that being unapologetically oneself is both courageous and tender.
