Autonomy
Mixed Media on Brushed Metal | 17 x 17 in | New Eve: The Beginnings Series
Autonomy is a declaration of reclaimed power — the moment a woman’s silence, surrender, and restraint become the very source of her self-determination. Created on brushed metal, the piece radiates both strength and vulnerability, with polished metallics and red leafing igniting the shadows behind the figure. Over 30 hours of love, creativity, and personal touches to create this amazing work
Her lifted chin suggests defiance, release, and awakening, while the blindfold and collar symbolize the structures imposed upon the feminine — systems of expectation, obedience, and control. Yet here, these symbols transform: what once restricted becomes the catalyst for her autonomy. She rises not in spite of the constraints, but through them.
The artist used her own blood to create the visceral red markings, infusing the work with a physical truth and emotional authenticity. This is not symbolic blood — it is lived experience, transmuted into art. The entire surface is sealed beneath two layers of resin, giving the piece a glasslike depth and highlighting the contrast between metallic darkness and crimson revelation.
A personal handwritten message is signed on the back, along with the artist’s signature, and the work is presented in a floating frame, ready to hang.
As part of the New Eve: The Beginnings Series, Autonomy reimagines the origin story of womanhood — not as a fall, but as a resurgence. Not as silence, but as sovereignty. Each viewer encounters a different layer of meaning: rebellion, surrender, freedom, or rebirth.
A singular, one-of-a-kind artwork charged with emotion, power, and the unmistakable imprint of the artist’s soul.
