This painting has found its forever home. 🩵

This piece doesn’t just critique objectification. It exposes how early it begins. Before a girl finds her voice, she’s handed an image. Before she understands her body, the world has already decided what it should look like and who it’s for.

This isn't just a painting. It’s a confrontation. A mirror held up to the systems that call it culture, when really, it’s conditioning. The kind that shows up in childhood toys, in backhanded compliments, in being told to smile, to be nice, to be quiet. It’s in the first time you were looked at a little too long, dressed up for someone else’s approval, or made to feel like your worth lived in how well you performed femininity. It's familiar, and it’s everywhere.

This painting is a call to stop playing along.
