"Rage" is a visually arresting artwork that captures the turbulent emotions of anger and defiance against the backdrop of sexualization, mistreatment, and systemic oppression of Women. The piece features chaotic swirls of black lines that dynamically sweep across a fiery orange canvas, symbolizing the fierce and uncontainable energy of fury. These intense, sweeping gestures reflect the inner turmoil and explosive wrath experienced by women subjected to relentless societal injustices.
The color palette intensifies the theme, with the deep, ominous black representing the depths of despair and resistance, while the bright, burning orange and yellows evokes a sense of urgent, blazing anger.
"Rage" serves as a powerful expression of protest and resilience, echoing the voices of those who are often silenced or overlooked. Through this artwork, I not only confront the viewer with the rawness of these emotions, advocating for a dialogue on the critical issues of gender-based violence and inequality.

The world likes delicate women,
silent at last.
But neither am I,
nor the women of my past.
I am loud,
I am strong,
I am more than you will ever see.
Failed by the men,
that aided to protect the delicate me.
So I hope that this is a side of me,
that you will never have to face.
Because if I unleash my rage,
you need to pray for my saving grace.
