Title: Fire to Ice – Creating Peace From War // Artist: Kacey Lore
about the piece
| Drawn in Procreate using watercolor brushes, this painting is a result of the artist looking to represent the border between calm and storm. In the presence of atrocities around the world, specially women, although victim to many injustices, hurt and hurting, are still expected to absorb the pain, and exude a presence of calmness, kindness and care for those around them. Punished and burnt by fire that they do not deserve, they hide the pain deep in their souls and become the often forgotten, almost never celebrated powerhouses that shield others from despair. This painting is an ode to every woman who hid their tears, and made themselves small so that the world did not have to face the discomfort of acknowledging their pain. |
