Living As She Ought is a dreamlike matrix of mirrored figures, botanical textures, and cursive whispers. Dominated by muted earth tones and overlaid with script-like phrases, the composition radiates the hush of introspection and the quiet rebellion of self-reclamation. At the heart of the image are repeated female forms, draped and poised as if in ritual, partially obscured by veils of text and geometric shapes.
The phrase “living as she ought” repeats like a mantra, ambiguous in tone—part affirmation, part interrogation. The repetition of ovals and rounded frames suggests the cyclical nature of societal expectations, while the dappled floral motifs hint at the wildness that resists being tamed. Gridlike structures intersect the soft organic forms, invoking tension between freedom and confinement, individual spirit and imposed role.
There’s a flickering presence of both past and future in this piece, as though we are glimpsing through layers of memory, myth, and possibility.
This work examines the nuanced tension between internal truth and external expectation. The phrase “living as she ought” floats like a question—whose “ought” is being followed? Is she conforming or rewriting the rules? The piece asks the viewer to consider the quiet performances of femininity, duty, and identity—and dares us to look closer at what lies beneath.
