This artwork belongs to a series exploring themes of individuality, societal expectations, and the intersection of the natural and constructed world. The background, a vintage ledger, serves as a record of transactions—a nod to the commodification of value, including a woman’s worth in patriarchal structures. The bold coral surrounding the figure embodies protection and fertility, juxtaposing the figure’s modern, self-assured stance. The snail shell at her feet grounds her in cycles of growth and introspection, while the fish above her reinforces the transformative journey. Together, these elements create a layered narrative, questioning how identity is shaped within the constraints of tradition and expectation.
