Survivor
Survivor presents a striking profile of a face, partially visible, with closed eyes and pink lips that suggest reflection, peace, and inner strength. The most prominent feature is the textured pink hair, crafted from layered, petal-like materials that give the piece sculptural depth. This radiant crown of hair becomes both armor and blossom—symbolizing survival as a process of transformation and beauty born from struggle.
The dark background is punctuated by circular patterns on the right and a zebra-print border along the bottom, adding rhythm and contrast. These elements frame the face, situating it within a world of complexity and challenge, yet highlighting its luminous presence.
Running vertically along the curve of the hair are powerful affirmations:
“I’VE BEEN THROUGH”
“GRIEF AND PAIN”
“I SURVIVED”
“THIS IS MY SEASON TO SOAR.”
“I AM A SURVIVOR”
These words transform the artwork into a declaration of triumph. They are not simply text but lived testimony, woven into the very structure of the piece. The juxtaposition of sculptural texture and affirmational language makes Survivor both visual and verbal—a layered narrative of endurance and rebirth.
The composition balances vulnerability with strength: the closed eyes suggest rest and healing, while the bold pink hair and affirmations proclaim victory. It is a portrait of someone who has endured grief and pain, yet emerged radiant, claiming their season to soar.
