Border-Industrial Complex – 04 2019 | Republic of Nauru Acrylic on Canvas 24 x 30 inches
Artist Statement:
Purple Pain depicts the strength of refugee women in the face of the injustice, cruelty, discrimination and hate that they suffered at the hands of those whom they had thought would help them: the Australian authorities. They suffered a lot as girls, as women, as wives, as sisters, as mothers, but when they became weak and close to breaking down, they kept moving gracefully, as if dancing. While they appeared to dance, they kept giving birth to love and power, they shared it with everything and everyone. They are goddesses of love and strength.
Purple Pain embodies the situation of women who have fled oppression, including myself, only to be subjected to other forms of oppression against women. It is my hope that we also find other forms of truth and justice.
High-quality canvas prints of "Purple Pain" are available now in a variety of sizes and materials.
