This is the first painting l've ever created that's inspired from an experience that's not my own. It literally poured out of me. The muse was musing

Titled - ENOUGH

It depicts a pivotal moment of reclamation, a woman taking her power back after being repeatedly silenced.

The phrase "let's keep it on the down low" represents the husband's ongoing attempts to minimise, hide, and neutralise his behaviour. His quietness makes him appear stable, while her heightened reaction casts her as the irrational one, basically he's a professional gaslighter.

In this work, she reaches a breaking point.

She is no longer willing to stay quiet to preserve peace that only benefits him.

Her intensity becomes an act of truth-telling, not instability.

ENOUGH marks the moment she steps into her authentic self, speaks boldly, and reclaims the power she had been encouraged to give away. Enough is enough and she is enough.
