"Girlfriends"
© 2024 Norma Gabriella Sykes, acrylic and pastel on canvas, 24 x 30 inches.
This painting honors our chosen mothers, daughters, and sisters, with their names engraved in the bricks, each reflecting their unique existence. The bricks, like the battles and victories they represent, bear scars of imperfection. Each brick tells a story that binds us together, forming a protective wall made of our collective experiences. The wall is a "healing wall," a memorial where women feel safe, comforted, honored, and remembered. At the center, two figures represent girlfriends chatting and navigating life in the uncertain landscape of the world.
