Artwork description

She is not two parts — she is one, but divided. In her face, two paths diverge: one offers a shy smile, the other screams in silence. Every layer, every contour on her body reveals that wholeness — true selfhood — does not come through calm. It comes through pain, through wounds, through clenched fingers and trails of blood.

Her hand grips a figure — perhaps an old soul, a sacrifice, or the part of her most afraid of being lost. Behind her, peaceful colors only intensify the storm within.

“Painful Wholeness” is a wound that refuses to heal until you fully feel yourself — as you are: fractured, torn, and still whole.
