Silence of the Victim (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Anastasiya Kao

Silence of the Victim is part of my ongoing series Transparent Borders, which explores personal boundaries, emotional transformation and resilience.

Created with glass, mirror and crystals, this artwork reflects the moment when fear and silence become invisible barriers between a person and their true self. The stitched lips symbolize the inability to speak, while the reflective surfaces invite viewers to confront their own emotions and experiences.

As the light changes, the work transforms, reminding us that healing begins when silence is broken and we reclaim our own voice.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork, handmade and signed by the artist.
