paint on thick paper; 16×11”
“This painting expresses the ideas of individual freedom, peace, courage, and unity. My central message is that freedom must be nurtured, just as our nation’s freedom was achieved through unity. While independence was won, many women still lack true freedom due to social inequality and denial of education. Violence and discrimination against women continue throughout their lives. Through this artwork, I hope to see a society without discrimination, where freedom belongs equally to all. Where freedom is born, peace will surely flourish.”
