In Gracie, I explore the multifaceted nature of femininity through the interplay of vulnerability and sensuality. The drawing portrays a woman reclining on her back, an emblem of surrender and introspection. A single rose delicately nestled between her legs symbolizes the blossoming power within her. It evokes notions of beauty, growth, and the cyclical nature of life. Through this juxtaposition, I invite viewers to contemplate the intricate layers of womanhood, embracing the duality of strength and fragility, while celebrating the inherent beauty that lies within us all.
