Resurrection: Echoes of Our Daughters

Curatorial Note:

This work emerges as both lament and invocation, a reflection on the inheritances women carry across centuries of history marked by silenced voices and unacknowledged wounds. It confronts the stark reality that, in the name of religion, faith, order, and tradition, countless lives have been curtailed, their dignity reduced, and their suffering rendered invisible beneath the weight of power. It embodies the quiet persistence of memory, a lineage of trauma that flows not only through individuals but also through generations.

Yet within this somber acknowledgment, the painting resists despair. It reimagines survival as a language of defiance, where endurance is not merely passive but active, a force that reshapes grief into strength and transforms scars into symbols of renewal. The imagery holds a dialogue between what has been taken and what has been reclaimed, offering a vision of resilience that refuses erasure.

In the wider socio-political context, the work resonates with struggles too often buried beneath structures of religious and political authority. Around the world, young girls continue to be denied freedom in the name of belief, subjected to violence, and silenced in systems designed to preserve control rather than justice. These truths, though urgent, are frequently subsumed by dominant narratives that privilege power over humanity.

The artist’s intervention, then, is not only aesthetic but ethical: a refusal to allow such erasure. By giving form to both the sorrow of generations and the tenacity of survival, the painting asserts that the story of women is not one of subjugation alone but of continual rising, resisting, and reclaiming. It stands as both witness and beacon, reminding us that even where humanity has faltered, renewal is possible, and that healing carries within it the power to dismantle the very structures that sought to silence it.

Resurrection belongs to the series named "Disenthralled".
