Silenced
$2,100.00
Many survivors never speak out. Through this artwork, I break that silence, not just for myself, but for countless others whose pain remains unseen and unheard. It is a protest against societal neglect and a call to acknowledge the scars that are often hidden. This painting is both a scream and a whisper of trauma, resilience, and a reclaiming of our narrative.
This painting is a powerful visual representation of the silencing and violation experienced by many survivors of sexual assault. The central figure, a woman with a red bar across her eyes, symbolizes the loss of identity, anonymity, and voice that often accompanies trauma. The multiple hands grabbing, restraining, and covering her mouth reflect the repeated violations and the overwhelming sense of being trapped, voiceless, and invisible. The use of vibrant yet somber tones enhances the emotional intensity, while the raw composition draws the viewer into the pain and reality of the subject’s experience.
