This series confronts the body as both battleground and testament — a living archive of power, vulnerability, and endurance. Through each figure, flesh becomes language: an expression of resistance against the forces that seek to define, fragment, or erase it.
The works unravel the architecture of identity under the weight of judgment and control, exposing how systems of power—social, political, and internal—dismantle the integrity of the human form. Stripped of protection, these figures reveal not only their anatomy but the shared anatomy of oppression itself: the ways in which inequality dismembers the collective body of humanity.
Yet within each rupture lies an act of reclamation. Colour bleeds into tenderness, gesture into defiance. The fractured form does not merely suffer—it evolves, asserting autonomy even as it is undone. In their rawness, these bodies remind us that equality begins where empathy is restored, and that to honour one’s own body is to resist every force that profits from its dehumanization.
Here, the body is not an object of control but a vessel of truth—aching, luminous, and indivisible.

BEAST OF BURDEN
A figure armoured in flesh and tension confronts the weight of power, both wielded and endured. The horse beneath him becomes a mirror of subjugation, a dark echo of humanity’s own struggle to dominate what it fears. Here, strength and vulnerability coexist, exposing how control fractures the soul that seeks it.
ANATOMY OF SILENCE
Skin peels into transparency, revealing the fragility beneath the surface of identity. The figure’s posture, bowed and exposed, embodies the quiet violence of erasure — the stripping away of self under the gaze of judgment. What remains is the raw truth of being: that to be seen is often to be dissected.
INHERITANCE OF SHADOWS
Layers of bodies and memories blur into one another, suggesting the intergenerational toll of systemic prejudice. The ghostly forms entwine, unable to separate where one wound ends and another begins. This painting confronts how the denial of equality stains the collective human body, passing its scars forward through time.
THE MEASURE OF LIGHT
Emerging from fracture, the figure reaches toward illumination — a fragile act of reclamation. Golden hues cradle the tension between transcendence and pain, between being broken and being whole. In the anatomy of struggle, light becomes an act of defiance — a quiet insistence that dignity cannot be stripped away.
THE SILENCE BETWEEN HEARTBEATS
The figure arches toward light, suspended between agony and transcendence. Flesh becomes a fragile boundary — a place where the unsaid gathers. In this stillness, the body listens to its own pulse, remembering that survival itself is a form of defiance.
THE MOUTH OF UNSPOKEN THINGS
A visage bound by silence, yet alive with motion beneath the skin. This portrait captures the psychic weight of suppression — how identity contorts under the burden of being unseen. The eyes speak where the mouth cannot, and the body becomes the language of what endures.
BURDEN OF THE SEEN
A figure turned inward, caught between exposure and retreat. Muscles tighten in quiet rebellion, resisting the gaze that dissects. Here, the act of being visible becomes both violence and grace — a reminder that dignity persists even in distortion.
DREAM OF A BOUND VOICE
Half-masked, half-revealed, the figure breathes through confinement. The delicate interplay of colour and form conjures a haunting tenderness — the ache of existing within imposed limits. Within this tension lies resilience: the whisper of freedom beneath the bruise.
THE WEIGHT OF UNSPOKEN GRIEF
A hand covers the face, shielding what the world refuses to hold. Ghostlike figures emerge in the periphery, representing the collective trauma carried across generations. In this gesture of concealment, the painting reveals its truth — that grief, when unspoken, becomes the language of inheritance.
WHAT REMAINS OF GESTURE
A body bends under unseen weight, its motion frozen between surrender and prayer. The fragmented composition suggests the breaking apart of self under the strain of expectation. Yet through that fracture, something radiant flickers — the first breath of reclamation.
