This powerful artwork portrays a woman with her eyes closed, streams of tears falling as symbols of sorrow and grief. Her face is partially covered by a delicate, gauze-like mask, pinned on either side.

The somber tones of gray, brown, and muted beige evoke a sense of confinement, vulnerability, and silent suffering.

The mask serves as a reminder of the shared global experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. The blurred, textured background reinforces themes of isolation, uncertainty, and resilience.

Artistic Elements:

  • Medium: Oil and acrylic on canvas, with the use of mixed media (fabric gauze).
  • Color Palette: Muted grays, browns, and off-whites, reinforcing a melancholic atmosphere.
  • Style: Figurative realism with symbolic abstraction.
  • Symbolism:
    • Mask: Symbol of protection, suppression, and collective trauma.
    • Tears: Represent grief, loss, and the emotional toll of the pandemic.
