Beneath the Surface

Al Astad Art Gallery | Stand : JA01, JA09, JA10

This painting explores the intricate journey of womanhood, where identity and expectations intertwine. A faceless central figure symbolizes the collective female experience, while abstract shapes depict internal struggles. A fractured yet resilient heart reflects the emotional weight of transitioning between roles—daughter, mother, professional. Challenges like body shaming and beauty biases appear as scattered puzzle-like fragments. Contrasting hues of orange and red highlight the emotional toll and silent battles. The absence of facial features underscores the universality of this experience, capturing quiet moments of self-reflection. Layers within the piece reveal hidden strengths, with the broken heart symbolizing not just pain but resilience. Through abstract forms and symbolism, the artist conveys the weight of societal expectations and the quiet strength women find within themselves—a meditation on self-awareness, growth, and emotional labor.
