Quiet Battle
Mixed Media on Brushed Metal | 17 x 17 in | One-of-a-Kind
Quiet Battle captures the moment where strength and suffering meet beneath the surface—where the war no one sees becomes the defining truth of the feminine experience. Rendered on brushed metal, this intimate composition centers on a blood-stained hand pressed against armored skin, a visceral symbol of the wounds carried in silence - with the word "Resist" stained in blood on her chest
In the language of the New Eve series, RESIST becomes her scripture. Written in blood, it is the ancient memory of every woman before her and every woman yet to come—a reminder that resistance is woven into feminine lineage as both burden and birthright. The inner battle fought behind closed door. She resists becoming hardened by the world, because her softness is her greatest act of strength.
The artist used her own blood to achieve the deep red tones, merging truth with symbol and infusing the piece with emotional and physical authenticity. Over 23 hours of creation, layers of permanent inks, metallic accents, and hand-applied textures were built to mimic the cold weight of chain-linked armor and the raw immediacy of a battlefield. The word RESIST, scrawled across her chest, bleeds downward—part declaration, part prayer, part reminder of the resilience demanded of women who fight their battles quietly, privately, relentlessly.
Sealed beneath a clear resin finish, the artwork gains depth and sheen, allowing the metallic surfaces and blood-infused tones to shift with changing light. Quiet Battle is not loud; its power comes from the tension it holds—the calmness on the outside, the storm within. A one-of-a-kind piece from the New Eve series, it stands as a tribute to every silent struggle carried with grace, grit, and unbroken determination.
The Value Behind the Work
Created over 23 hours and built with layered metallics, specialized inks, and the artist’s own blood, Quiet Battle holds both material rarity and emotional weight. The hand-applied chain-link armor detailing and brushed metal foundation create a dimensional, tactile presence that cannot be reproduced. Sealed in resin for permanence and offered as a one-of-a-kind work, it embodies the complexity, symbolism, and craftsmanship central to the New Eve series. These qualities—technical, emotional, and narrative—establish its value as a distinctive acquisition for collectors of powerful, story-driven contemporary art.
