"Our flaws do not define us, our strengths do."
quote by: Stuti Mathur, New Delhi, India
I like to draw things that have meaning and significance. This art piece is an example of that because I use words of empowerment for women. I created this to empower women and to show how meaningful and worthy they are. It’s so important for women to feel empowered because for years women have had to fight to feel seen. Whether it be gender equality in sports, politics, or jobs, women have had to fight to be seen and get equal treatment. This art piece is a voice for women and shows how they are just as important and worthy as men. This is also a voice for women of color, especially because it shows a woman with a head scarf which is very popular in some communities. It’s not just a head scarf but it’s a head scarf with words of encouragement for women, to empower women for their achievements.
