Description
Stillness is not passivity.
It is the discipline of restraint — learned early, practiced often, and mistaken for compliance.
The figure stands composed and contained, her expression unreadable but deliberate. Beneath the symmetry and muted palette lies tension: the emotional labor of appearing calm, proper, and acceptable. This work reflects the internalization of expectation — how stillness becomes both armor and erasure.
Part of the Feminist Consciousness collection, this piece examines the quiet spaces where identity is shaped long before resistance becomes visible.
