SELF MADE

Collection

Fractured, Empowered, Beautiful

Date

2023

Size

48x24x2 (framed)
Acrylic, paper, fiber and graphite on canvas

Self Made features a feminine torso built from collaged elements—fragments of old text, sewing patterns, hand-drawn flowers, and aged papers. The neutral and amber tones evoke warmth, wisdom, and earthiness, while bold black contour lines define the form in confidence. Words like “HOW TO TAKE OUR WINS” and “WHY FIT?” emerge from the background like quiet rebellion. From the floral motif rooted in the lower abdomen to the layered textures that resemble both scars and silk, the piece celebrates the journey of a woman becoming—on her own terms.
