Before I knew myself

Description

This piece explores the fragile yet powerful moment of self-discovery. A woman’s body emerges as if painted into being, her spine exposed in vulnerability while guiding hands shape her form. The act of creation becomes both tender and commanding, reflecting how identity is often sculpted by heritage, memory, and external forces. The work speaks to transformation, the tension between autonomy and influence, and the beauty of becoming before one fully understands oneself.
