Original artwork description
The work "I Am All Girls" is a compelling exploration of universal femininity, hidden strength, and shared vulnerability. The subject’s face is partially obscured by a beautifully draped, vibrant purple scarf, symbolizing the protective layers women must often employ. However, her intense eye and the hint of brightly painted fingernails assert her individuality and an unwavering self-awareness despite being partially veiled.
This painting speaks to the collective experience of womanhood—the need for personal sanctuary balanced against the courage to be seen. The partial covering suggests both mystery and resilience, hinting at a refusal to fully surrender to scrutiny. "I Am All Girls" is a powerful affirmation of the multifaceted nature of female identity, recognizing the shared spirit that connects every woman’s story.
