So this is an artwork I began on paper a year ago, but I decided to do digitally after feeling the effects of the the uproar following the tragedies of Sarah Everard and Blessing Olusegun. To explain the piece, I see it as a representation of how womanhood had two faces: the hurtful trauma and insults we suffer as part of our identity, and the insecure power we have been trying to reclaim for centuries. The 2D part of the figure is shaded in abstract tones with each segment containing words that have been said in order to insult, patronise, sexualise, gaslight, guilt and humiliate me among other things. The face, hair, nails robe and breath are ethereal; containing the strength of women and the feminine. Women have put men on the moon, been computer programmers before computers even existed, invented groundbreaking literary genres, ruled kingdoms in their most successful eras, built networks that saved lives,  commanded independent armadas to rival official navies and altered whole cultural norms with their influence. I’m so tired of the fear and the rage that is never allowed to be released. So I made this.
