Resisting the Violence

“Resisting the Violence” is a drawing that depicts two hands raised defensively, embodying the tension between vulnerability and strength. The hands emerge from a chaotic, dark background, illuminated by jagged, uneven strokes that convey the strain of survival and the instinct to protect. The stark contrast of light and shadow highlights the overwhelming forces of violence and oppression that press in but cannot fully overcome the defiance they encounter. The piece’s textured lines and fragmented composition symbolize the universal struggle against aggression and the resilience inherent in human endurance. It is a powerful reminder that resistance is an act of courage and hope, even in the face of destruction.
