Outcry

Outcry was born during a chaotic moment in my life—school holidays, long work days, and the full force of motherhood pressing against every surface of my being. I felt raw, stretched thin, emotionally exposed.

This piece became a space to process that intensity. I was drawn to the idea of "good stress"—the kind that we experience when we are encouraged to cry, not as weakness, but as healing. That paradox stayed with me: how something that looks like breakdown can actually be a breakthrough.

I wanted to express that moment of rupture—a scream, a release, a desperate kind of clarity. The layers in Outcry reflect both chaos and coherence. Things fall apart, but they’re also held together, just barely—like we are in the middle of our overwhelm.

This painting is not just about pain. It’s about the necessity of letting it out, and the strange beauty that emerges when we do.
