Serenity Unveiled

 A mesmerizing collage, layered with various papers. The main eye catching layer  bears a powerful quote by Yasmin Mogahed: "My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life—despite what fashion magazines say—is something more sublime than just looking good for men."

Wow, do these words speak directly to you. How many times have you questioned your worth based on how you look or how others perceive you? This quote is a reminder that your value is so much deeper than that.

Notice the blues in the painting, and how they bring a wave of calm, almost like a gentle embrace. The yellows feel like the light of self-discovery and empowerment  experienced over the years. And the greens... they make me think of growth and renewal, of transformation and strength.

But then, there are the drips, like tears. A reminderof the pain and heartache that's endured. Yet, these drips also speak of resilience, of the strength that's carries you through those tough times.

Look at the sketch of the woman's face. Her eyes are downcast, her expression serene but introspective. It's like she's reflecting a journey, seeing both the darkness and the light, and emerging stronger.

This painting isn't just art; it's a mirror. It reflects inner battles, victories, selfworth. It tells  that our value isn't about superficial measures but about the strength of our spirit and the purity of our heart.
