What Women Carry III: Strength (2026)

Inspired by Trojan Horse

What Women Carry III: Strength (2026) explores strength as a quality often carried quietly and endured unseen. Inspired by Trojan Horse, the work focuses on the idea of hidden resilience and the stories contained beneath outward appearances.

The image depicts a hand reaching outward from within a fragment of tree bark. The bark functions as both protection and container, while the emerging hand suggests perseverance and strength.

Only through illumination does the image fully reveal itself, mirroring the way acts of endurance often remain unnoticed. By bringing a concealed presence into view, the work invites reflection on the resilience women carry and the strength required to navigate the challenges and responsibilities of everyday life.
