Summary:
Barefaced captures the quiet duality of
motherhood—its rawness and radiance. The
woman’s face, drawn only in pencil, lays bare the
vulnerability, fatigue, and emotional labor
mothers carry daily—unadorned and exposed. In
striking contrast, her blue and yellow head wrap
bursts with colour and form, a visual embodiment
of cultural identity, pride, and inner strength. This
juxtaposition speaks to the silent strength of
women who must carry beauty, burden, and
dignity all at once. Through texture, colour, and
restraint, the work honors the unseen weight and
quiet power of mothering.
