Swearing

"Swearing" is a work that directly captures the frustration and search for authenticity in a world that often silences people. The central figure, with her intense expression and defiant posture, represents the desperation of a generation that feels its concerns and worries are not taken into account. This piece becomes a cry of emotions, reflecting the internal struggle many face when trying to find their place in a complicated and often disconnected society.

The word "bullshit" is presented as a call for truth and a rejection of empty promises and social rules imposed in current culture. In a time where authenticity is so valued, the work challenges norms and tries to open a space to talk about the importance of expressing real and sincere emotions. The use of acrylics and colored crayons adds an explosive dimension to these emotions, creating a visual texture that connects the intensity of feeling with the art.

What is interesting about this piece is how it highlights in red the words "peace" and "love," which are normally associated with unity and harmony. This choice generates controversy, as it shows the contradiction between the ideals of peace and love and the frustration felt. By uniting the cry of discontent with these hopeful words, the work suggests that these ideals may seem unattainable in a world where there is so much pain and injustice.

This tension reflects society's current dilemmas: although there is a strong desire for peace and love, there is also a deep disillusionment with social and political realities. The work invites authenticity, reminding us that true peace and love can only emerge if we first listen to and validate the voices of those who feel marginalized and forgotten.
