Took Away From

"Took Away From" is an evocative art piece that explores themes of feminism and gender equality. Drawing on traditional Chinese painting pigments, intricate beadwork, and shattered glass mixed media, it vividly depicts the fragility and rupture within human relationships, especially those experienced by women. However, it also conveys a message of resilience and growth, highlighting the strength to rebuild and thrive despite adversity. This work serves as a poignant reflection on the struggle for gender equality, inviting viewers to consider the delicate balance between fracture and renewal in the quest for a more equitable world.
