Strength Within

This artwork is part of the series called 'Strength Within' It attempts to explore the innate resilience of the female spirit. It is to challenge the systematic demonisation and vilification of women throughout the centuries by the religious and society establishment. The images stare out at you challenging your beliefs and preconceptions. Many of the portraits have been drawn deliberately gender neutral. Positive steps have been made in modern times but there is still a long way to go before true equality. This is why one eye will bleed/weep continually.
