Cleansed and Bare Print

The cool water meets her skin, carrying away the weight of yesterday. With each ripple, she lets go—of expectations, of roles, of the masks she wears for the world.

Here, she is raw, unadorned, and infinite. The river does not judge her curves or scars; it simply accepts. In its reflection, she sees herself not as the world defines her, but as she truly is—whole and unbroken.

This painting, “Cleansed and Bare,” captures the quiet strength of vulnerability. It invites us to see beauty in shedding what no longer serves us, to find freedom in surrender, and to honor the sacred ritual of returning to ourselves.
