Bound Voice is a 7x7 inch original colored pencil drawing created in April 2020. This emotional portrait captures a woman with closed eyes, her mouth stitched shut and her body weighed down by heavy chains. The muted tones and expressive linework convey the weight of silence and the internal struggle of being held back, restrained, or unheard.
Created at the height of global isolation, this piece speaks to personal and collective feelings of suppression, especially for women navigating trauma, grief, or injustice. A haunting yet dignified image of resistance, survival, and unspoken strength.
