Break Every Chain

This powerful mixed-media painting presents a central figure, a woman rendered in black with arms crossed in front of her chest, dressed in a flowing blue garment. From her back extend vast, butterfly-like wings—radiant with circular motifs, jagged-edged forms, and bursts of color in red, green, yellow, white, and blue. These wing patterns resemble both gears and flowers, suggesting transformation, resilience, and the breaking of constraints.

The earthy background of greens, browns, and oranges creates a textured, dynamic atmosphere, grounding the figure while amplifying her emergence. The wings dominate the canvas, symbolizing freedom, spiritual awakening, and the strength to transcend limitations. The juxtaposition of mechanical-like shapes with organic forms speaks to the tension between oppression and liberation, making the butterfly imagery a metaphor for breaking chains and reclaiming flight.
