Piece description from the artist
“You’re Brave to Wear That” captures the charged moment when a supposed compliment carries the sting of judgment. The swirling forms and vivid contrasts mirror the tension between authentic self-expression and the pressure to tone yourself down. This piece invites viewers to consider how often courage is projected onto women simply for dressing in color, confidence, or individuality. At its heart, it’s a celebration of self-trust—an affirmation that expressing yourself isn’t an act of bravery, but an act of freedom.
