Shame on Me | The Weight we Carry, 2026
Original art piece 75x55cm, acrylics on canvas
Part of the art series The Weight we Carry which dips deeper into the emotions and memories that accompany us for a long time
In Shame on me, the canvas becomes a mirror for one of our most isolating human experiences: the prison of self-inflicted shame. This piece maps the quiet tragedy of hiding behind a flawless, smiling facade until the act itself begins to deplete the soul. Even as the figure fights to shed the mask and reclaim honest emotion, the gravity of past wounds pulls it back into place. The work captures that exact, heartbreaking moment when the oppressor is no longer external, but lives entirely within our own minds. It invites the viewer to look closely at what we hide, what we endure, and the immense strength required to simply acknowledge the cage.
