Sorry I'm Defensive
Sorry I'm Defensive captures the intricate story of a Black woman standing at the crossroads of societal stereotypes and personal trauma. Positioned in the foreground, her defensive stance conveys a natural protectiveness, while her guarded expression quietly exposes glimpses of vulnerability beneath the surface.
Her skin is rendered in rich, varied tones, reflecting the depth and complexity of her experiences and cultural heritage. The background, awash in muted hues, embodies the pervasive misunderstandings and misconceptions that society often imposes on her.
This painting stands as a powerful testament to resilience and inner beauty—celebrating those who defy limiting stereotypes and choose to reveal their authentic selves only to those willing to look deeper. It honors the strength forged through adversity and underscores the healing and transformative potential of empathy and genuine connection.
