Size: 10”x10” Medium: Oil on canvas Year: 2026 Power is not escape.It is the knowledge that there is no escape. This work reflects the strength found in awareness, understanding th at we are bound to consciousness, to flesh, to time and space we do not fully comprehend. The body weakens, the world terrifies, certainty dissolves, yet power emerges through knowing and continuing anyway. Her stare breaks the fourth wall. It does not look beyond the viewer, toward hope or transcendence, but directly into them, collapsing distance and forcing recognition. The gaze becomes a mirror rather than an invitation. There is power in recognizing our limits.Power in understanding the fragility of the flesh and the resilience of the mind.Power in accepting helplessness without surrender. Though we are confined to this reality, the awareness that there is more, something beyond comprehension, becomes a contradiction that fuels endurance rather than despair. To remain open, loving, and present within a frightening world is not denial. It is resistance. This is the power of seeing clearly and choosing to live fully anyway. Original work.
