"My Body is Not an Apology," 30"x40" — Acrylic Original

"My Body Is Not an Apology" is a poignant and stirring painting inspired by the profound message of Sonya Renee Taylor's book, "The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love."  The vibrant electric blue color of the figure symbolizes the journey towards radical self-love, but also hints at the internal battles fought against shame, identity, and societal expectations. This painting serves as a visual manifesto, reminding us that our bodies are not something to be ashamed of or hidden away, but rather to be celebrated and honored as vessels of strength, resilience, and beauty.
