Each tile bore its unique characteristics, In many ways, painting these tiles paralleled the complexities of our own lives, where our individuality coexists within the larger canvas of our shared existence.
The central theme of self-sacrifice in the painting unveils a stark commentary on the treatment of femininity within our societal framework. Embracing one’s femininity, symbolized by the main figure, becomes a courageous act, akin to becoming a martyr under the pervasive shadow of patriarchy.

Ultimately, the painting reflects a profound connection to the innate desire of creation—a quintessentially feminine aspiration. It serves as a canvas for my own femininity, expressing the yearning to empower and construct a world where the strength of femininity is celebrated and revered.
