This series explores the essence of femininity through vibrant contrasts of bright red and blue, capturing the delicate yet powerful nature of women. Like a pearl necklace, easily broken but demanding grace, it symbolizes historical constraints on women, urging the courage to break free from societal norms. Embrace authenticity and defy conventions. Another piece portrays a seashell, celebrating motherhood's grandeur and nurturing strength. The series highlights women's resilience and bravery, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty in every form of femininity. A red clock in the collection symbolizes time, challenging misconceptions about women's value and asserting beauty at every age.
