Original artwork description:

A young woman, captured in profile, stands at the threshold between concealment and revelation. The raw, fragmented mask-like streak across her face suggests both destruction and emergence—an unveiling that is neither gentle nor complete. The rich, deep hues of red and green create a striking contrast, heightening the tension between vulnerability and resilience.

This painting explores themes of identity, transformation, and the scars left behind by shedding past selves. What remains when the mask is removed? Strength or fragility? Exposure or liberation? Unmasked invites the viewer into this moment of transition, where beauty and pain intertwine in the act of becoming.
