A Silent War of the Mind
This painting is called A Silent War of the Mind. It shows two women, one in gold, one in metallic blue, locked in a silent, inescapable struggle. They have no hands to fight back, to hold on, to shape their own fate, only their unbreakable, armored skin. A golden wall stands between them. Is it a prison, or the only thing keeping them from collapsing?
Look at the rays extending from their heads. That’s where the battle happens. They can’t fight with their hands, so they fight with their minds, pushing, pulling, resisting. The rays flicker, twisting under the weight of their trauma, warping as their emotions clash. At first, they’re fractured, like broken thoughts, painted in deep blues and purples, colors of despair. But as they fight, as they endure, the rays begin to shift, glowing, igniting, turning into golds and fiery reds.
This isn’t just about struggle; it’s about survival. Even when life takes everything, our power, our choices, our voice, we fight in the only way we can. And in that fight, we find our strength.
