Silence

Half of the world’s population are women. Many are prominent in their respective fields, whether it be politics, science, journalism, education or medicine, etc., they use their platform to enrich society. But those who are heard because of their excellence are a tiny fraction of the voices that remain silent. Millions across the globe have no voice to be heard and are quieted when they do speak up.  I wanted to show the noise surrounding a silent woman in this painting that really is just a blur when compared to the profoundness of their lives.
