In the vast tapestry of human emotion, there exists an intersection between pain and triumph, darkness and light. My piece, "Still I Rise", seeks to navigate this intricate juncture, unveiling a story not just of trauma survival, but of transcendence.

Using a delicate yet powerful mix of charcoal and graphite, I've sketched the central figure: a woman, whose eyes and contours bear the weight of a painful past. Her portrait serves as a window into the soul, every line and shadow testifying to experiences that have marked, but not defined her. Surrounding this poignant portrayal, the abstract background engulfs her in soft colours. The intricate floral motifs, crafted from ceramic pens, hint at both fragility and growth; they serve as a metaphor for resilience and rebirth in the face of adversity.

"Still I Rise" is not just a title; it's an affirmation. Drawing inspiration from Maya Angelou's timeless poem, it signifies a determination to rise above adversity, to find light in the heart of darkness, and to recognise the strength that lies within even when faced with the harshest of life's challenges.
