Original artwork description:

This oil painting on canvas captures the emotional aftermath of a woman who once believed in love and trust, only to be left with silence, disappointment, and pale traces of hurt on her skin. The subtle bruises around her eye and the sadness in her gaze tell a silent story of heartbreak and lost innocence.

Her expression holds a lingering, unanswered question:
"How did I get hurt this deeply?"

The textured surface of the painting enhances the raw vulnerability in her face, while muted tones echo her inner turmoil. Through this portrait, I wanted to give a voice—and a face—to silent suffering, and reflect the complex emotions that remain when love turns into pain.
