The girl on page LXIII.01

• The Castaway's Wife

Mixed Media - Acrylic, gouache, and watercolor 42x59.4cm

 

She was unable to admit it: he is not coming back. She will make it through. She is still young, she is still strong, and she still has friends. She has a thousand ways to distribute the weight of abandonment, the burden of sadness... but she does not know it yet. 

She believes she will not make it, that she will crumble again and again. She thinks she will die of grief tomorrow, but she will not. She appears fragile in the neck of the bottle she holds; she looks at herself, she smiles... 

She does not see someone weak in the reflection; she discovers herself exposed to a new world that will learn to understand her, all while holding a warm bottle that reflects the woman she is no longer.
