Subdued
Medium: Graphite and ink on paper

“Subdued” is a self-reflective piece made in response to cultural complacency that normalizes violence and domestic abuse. It highlights intrusive thoughts and recurring cycles of depression maintained by selective memory and a reluctance to face reality, resulting in self-inflicted entrapment perpetuated by the need to hold on to idealized perceptions.
