Shades of Strength, 2024

By Student  Fadhila

Shades of Strength celebrates the beauty and many forms of strength that black women embody. The black and white box pattern in the background symbolises the structure and often rigid challenges she faces in society.

Despite this, she stands as a symbol of empowerment and dignity, shining with inner strength and grace that go beyond the black and white constraints around her.

Acrylic on canvas, 60cm x 45cm
