'Broken Silence' 2024
Gaia, discarded like a broken doll, abandoned without a hand to lift her.
This work draws from the myth of Gaia, goddess of the earth, whose deepest feelings —anger, sorrow, love — remain unseen, her whispers stifled. Through this piece, I strive to unveil Gaia’s hidden emotions, thoughts, and desires, making them tangible and real.
Gaia represents the strength of the feminine spirit, urging protection for the vulnerable. She stands as a symbol of quiet protest against nature’s destruction, calling us to act and to change. Though seemingly invisible, her presence is powerful and essential.
