This painting felt like a wild experiment. I poured washes, used raw pigments, let it bleed and bloom, all in ways that were a surprising departure from my usual style and approach. When the frenzy settled and I sat back it all made perfect sense. The woman witnessed here was in a time of radical change and experimentation. She had just stepped into a new chapter and while she was trying new things, part of her still bled for the life she left. While she struggled with the grit and texture of her new life, she bloomed and adapted.
