- She held the cage gently
Original artwork description
"She held the cage gently, but her freedom had already flown."
This painting explores the idea that freedom is not always about breaking boundaries, but about shifting perception. It speaks of inner release — the kind that doesn’t need open doors, only a different gaze.
Rendered in oil on canvas, this work combines abstract gestures and figurative presence to create a dreamlike tension between containment and release.
Part of an ongoing series exploring emotional landscapes, silent resilience, and the quiet moments where transformation begins.
