This piece pulses with defiant energy, a celebration of bodies that refuse to be invisible. Bold pinks, electric yellows, and raw blacks create an interconnected network of abstract forms that bleed into and support one another. I see these bodies as entangled, overlapping, holding each other up. They're not separate, they're collective.
 
The glittering silver textures catch the light like scar tissue, or maybe the metallic taste of medical trauma I know too well. The bright yellow shapes (I see them as organs, wounds, moments of joy all at once) punctuate the composition like evidence that even bleeding bodies can be radiant.
 
The layered, gestural brushwork creates depth and movement. You can see where I've scraped paint back, where colours collide and merge, where the surface is deliberately messy and alive. This isn't a polished representation of pain. It's the texture of survival itself.

This piece has lived in my studio and carries the energy of community, resistance, and the messy beauty of bodies that refuse to be quiet about their pain
