Burning Sisterhood
My Story
Burning Sisterhood is inspired by my own journey and experiences with other women throughout my life. Early in my life, I experienced loneliness and rejection, and it deeply affected the way I related to other human beings. I became an independent, strong person, who didn’t allow people in.
But the feeling of loneliness and isolation lingered, even if hidden deep down. The sensation of inadequacy, of not being good enough, would follow me. I was hiding behind the tall walls I built to protect myself, trapped, and made rigid by my own defence mechanisms.
What is 'Burning Sisterhood'?
Burning Sisterhood is a journey into the raw, aching, radiant spaces where women meet themselves — and each other.
Through vivid figurative paintings, interwoven with poetry and personal memory, this collection explores the depths of intimacy, the complexity of human connection, and the profound work of healing. It is about sisterhood not as an easy bond, but as a living, breathing force — forged through love, conflict, touch, loss, and reunion.
Each painting tells a piece of the larger story: the longing to belong (Alone), the revolutionary act of tenderness (The Touch), the mirrors we find in each other (She is the Mirror), the sacred power of dance and movement (The Dance That Brought Us Back), the pain and beauty of self-love (The Blooming of a Lotus), and the fierce, unstoppable force of collective strength (Stronger Together).
Created through a deeply personal process of artistic and emotional exploration, these works reflect the messy, glorious act of becoming — not alone, but in communion. They honor the parts of us that break, that heal, that yearn, that fight, that surrender. They invite the viewer not just to observe, but to feel: to recognize in these bodies, gestures, and colors the universal threads of their own story.
Burning Sisterhood is a celebration of intimacy in a world that teaches separation.
It is a call to come closer — to ourselves, to one another — and to remember that healing is not a solitary path.
It is something we do together.
Hand in hand. Heart to heart. Burning bright.
