Original artwork description:

The woman in this painting is every woman. One part of her knows what she wants. She knows her dreams and the story of her soul. Yet, another part of her resists. The other part reminds her of the limitations imposed on her by society. It urges her to limit her desires, her dreams; to let go of her life’s longings. It goads her to forget that she is more than the roles she plays at the behest of others. Thus, trapped between her two selves, she struggles. Until one day, she either gives in or breaks free. That is the choice this woman, and every woman has to make. That is the choice, you have to make.

Dear woman, let that dream live. Hold it, nurture it, let it grow and bloom under the smiling rays of the sun. Your time has come.
