On a wall
Who am I now?
When alopecia takes away something so closely connected to a woman's identity, the loss can reach far beyond her hair. The mirror becomes unfamiliar. Confidence is shaken. Femininity may feel questioned. And somewhere beneath the vulnerability lies a woman struggling to recognize herself.
Finding everything she still is doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey of searching, questioning, grieving, and slowly rediscovering the person beneath what has been lost.
This painting captures that fragile space between who she once saw in the mirror and the woman she is still learning to see.
Because sometimes, the greatest struggle isn't losing what made you recognizable to yourself.
It's finding everything you still are.
