'You say the things that stop me aren't real' Original painting
This painting celebrates women's resilience while acknowledging the sometimes-crippling nature of obstacles. It encourages viewers to find beauty and strength amidst adversity and prompts reflection on the authenticity of our barriers to others.
Illustrated by a snake apparently ensnaring the woman, closer examination reveals a non-realistic depiction, suggesting that overcoming such struggles is actually possible.
Additionally, the painting incorporates a symbol of nostalgia and communication through a hanging rotary phone. The woman is bound yet fixated on the device. However, it is unclear if she wants to reach it, or to escape it, or whether someone is even there waiting for her on the other end.
Sharlie seeks to tell the stories of women through her work, while often exploring themes of communication and the concept of “home”.
