About this work

A woman with her eyes closed, framed by a storm of heavy, silver-grey texture and flashes of red. The paint is thick and restless around her; her face is still.

Titled from Psalm 39:2 — "I was mute and silent; I held my peace" — this piece is about the strength it takes not to answer back, and the peace that holds when we do not. Original mixed media.
