Painting and augmented reality

Acrylic painting with gold leaf, portraying a woman burdened by truth in a world shaped by illusion and control. Three gold loops pierce her lower lip, symbolizing the silencing of voice and the cost of awareness. Work is complemented by augmented reality, layered narrative of resilience, strength.
