This series reveals how external abuse and self-abuse can overlap, merge, and become indistinguishable within the performance of femininity. Through shifts in scale, material, palette, and gesture, the paintings trace a movement from theatrical presentation toward raw exposure. What begins with ornamented surfaces, beauty, and controlled poses evolves into a direct confrontation with pain, responsibility, and internalized oppression. The central piece marks the turning point: the end of performance and the moment where illusion collapses. From there, the work embraces roughness, ambiguity, and the uncomfortable truths that emerge when the frame of “being a good girl” breaks. The project remains open and ongoing. Each phase does not resolve the previous one but instead exposes new layers of meaning, connecting personal history with shared experiences among women, and placing those experiences within a broader social and feminist context. The paintings function not only as visual outcomes but as a process of understanding, articulating, and reclaiming the complex dynamics of abuse, self-exploitation, and the performance of womanhood.
