Denial of My Truth
Denial of My Truth is a powerful painting that visually represents my struggle with suppressing my voice and not being honest about the pain I was experiencing. The painting depicts an intense and almost suffocating gesture, where I am portrayed as if I am strangling myself. This imagery reflects the inner conflict and the self-imposed barriers I created around my throat chakra, symbolizing my difficulty in expressing my true feelings and struggles. The background features a white symbol representing the throat chakra, which underscores the central theme of communication and self-expression. The contrast between the constrictive act and the chakra symbol highlights the tension between the need for honesty and the challenge of overcoming the barriers I had erected around my voice. 'Denial of My Truth' is a poignant exploration of the impact of not speaking up and the journey towards reclaiming and articulating one's authentic self.
Colors
In the show "Ripples," the colors play a significant role in conveying the themes of healing and transformation. The deep blue symbolizes the throat chakra, associated with communication and self-expression, reflecting the journey of finding one’s voice. The use of gold and white represents light and healing, inspired by a meditation practice where I visualized my body as darkness—either black or dark blue—and with each inhale, golden light would radiate outward, removing the darkness. Once the darkness was cleared, I would repeat the process with the color white, further emphasizing purification and renewal. These colors create a visual narrative of healing and the gradual emergence of light from within.
