Original artwork description
This captures an intimate moment of refuge, trust, and quiet rebellion — two women gathered in a domestic space alive with color, warmth, and rhythm. Between laughter and secrecy, they share confidences that exist just outside the gaze of authority, forming their own sanctuary of truth-telling and support. Their exchange reflects the subtle acts of resistance and self-definition that unfold in the everyday — the moments where identity, agency, and intimacy intersect.
This painting honors the tradition of women protecting and empowering each other — the wisdom passed between sisters, daughters, and friends. It reflects on how ordinary spaces become stages for emotional honesty, where stories are told, withheld, or whispered with knowing smiles. Don’t Tell Papa is ultimately about sisterhood, agency, and the radical beauty of choosing your own confidants.
