Reflection

Description

She faces herself without softness or disguise. The gaze is steady, unflinching—eyes rimmed with sorrow that drips downward, not to invite pity, but to mark truth. This is not how she is seen; this is how she sees herself.

Warm reds and bruised pinks flood the form, as if emotion has replaced skin. Beneath the surface, skulls emerge—quiet, unavoidable reminders of mortality, ancestry, and the weight of what is carried inside. They do not threaten; they testify.

The circular frame becomes both mirror and moon, enclosing a private reckoning. Bats hover at the edges like thoughts that return at dusk, while spiderwebs stretch across the background—fragile, intricate records of what has been endured and what still holds.

This is not vanity. It is confrontation.

Reflection captures the moment of meeting oneself fully—
the beauty, the damage, the history beneath the face—
and choosing to look anyway.
