The Brave Are Free Collage

255 gsm Resin Coated (RC) Unique Pearlescent Surface Finish 50x40cm print size on A2 paper size Signed, Open Edition Artist Statement: During the early hours of just this past Sunday, November 29th 2020, I was dropped by my Uber driver barely two cars away from my apartment gate. I saw two men, drunk, barely 10 metres away. I heard them talking loudly,"Grab her". I didn't want them to know I heard. I quickly walked up the footpath to my units frantically buzzing to get upstairs and turned around - they were waiting for me at the front gate. The door opened I bounded upstairs, shaking, I was thinking about if they were still there. Was it a cruel joke? They're just f**king with me? Or were they going to hurt me, rape me, kill me? I was in front of my house. Is nowhere safe? The scenarios rushed through my mind - I shouldn't have worn that sexy dress, I shouldn't have been alone, I shouldn't have been out so late. I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have. They SHOULDN'T HAVE. This one really rattled me, I wish I could say this hasn't happened before, I am scared. but I can't afford to be. We can't afford to be. Making this artwork was incredibly difficult. I would often become so overwhelmed with emotion, holding back tears as I paired images together, having to put my laptop away, regain composure. I don't feel brave today, I'm still scared. I'm scared that I can't be alone at night, that those men still wander the streets, that someone else might get hurt next time... but I need to be brave now. We need to be brave. This artwork means and represents so much, and when I look at it it makes me angry, it makes me proud and it makes me brave. The brave are free. Artwork: The Brave Are Free. An ode, to all the sacrifices that all womxn have made, the pain, the suffering, but most of all their bravery.
