“Tell me how” Image 6 (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Leigh Witherell

n creating this painting, I aimed to visualize both vulnerability and strength. The individuals in the artwork represent not just a singular experience but a universal struggle with identity and acceptance. Their mirrored images evoke the tension between how they see themselves and how they wish to be seen by the world. Through my brushstrokes, I sought to capture that poignant moment of introspection, highlighting the beauty and complexity of being true to oneself regardless of external judgments. This piece stands as a celebration of authenticity, a testament to the journey of self-discovery that so many navigate, and an invitation for viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of identity.
