Original artwork description:

If you show weakness for even a second — they’ll crush you.
Here, tenderness is punished.
In this system, feelings have no value.
The ones who waver — are erased.
This painting explores the quiet violence of vulnerability. A suspended shirt, flowered yet empty, suggests the aftermath of someone who dared to feel. Beneath it, fragmented bodies and erased gestures hover in a muted battlefield.

Materials used:

oil, acrylic, pigment,marker,pastel,watercolor,paper on Soviet-Era cotton fabric
