Echoes

In this self-portrait, I capture a moment of defiance, rolling my eyes amidst a backdrop of open mouths symbolizing the cacophony of societal expectations. Despite the noise, my expression remains resolute, inviting viewers to contemplate the tension between autonomy and conformity. Through this painting, I convey the universal struggle of asserting authenticity in the face of external pressures, celebrating the courage required to stay true to oneself.
