Encaustic on panel · 50 × 40 × 3.5 cm · 2025 Fragments of Silence collection Original artwork – unique piece.
A young woman stands before a shattered mirror, her reflection turned away, symbolising the quiet fracture of self-doubt under society's relentless beauty standards. From this single AI-generated fragment, the encaustic layers soften and heal the broken glass, transforming pain into tender acceptance.
Hidden within the wax, the word “Love” whispers gently, visible only to those who pause and look with care — a soft invitation to embrace one's true form without judgment.
The QR code reveals the original raw AI image, contrasting the digital distortion with the warm, tactile truth of encaustic, urging the viewer to reclaim inner beauty and wholeness.
A meditation on self-love that mends the cracks of imposed ideals.
