‘The Drought’
This artwork represents the mental burden that women carry.
Women often carry a domestic and mental load that others sometimes don’t understand. There is a feeling of being drained and languishing in moments when they should be feeling happy. This piece is a metaphor for a lack of support and how we can sometimes feel very isolated in our duties particularly in situations that are more traditionally female or bound by cultural expectations.
This artwork links to “Dhala-bu-nya” which symbolises the absence of support when it’s most needed and the reluctance to accept support when it is finally offered.
The idea of drought reflected in this artwork symbolises the absence of fulfilment within some parts of female life, and the loneliness that can be experienced by women when life takes hold.

Cotton Rag (320gsm cotton rag paper)
Made from 100% cotton, this product contains no optical brightening agents and has a smooth finish. With a natural coloration and a light fast rating of over 100 years, it is an excellent choice for fine-art reproductions. This option is best framed under anti-reflective art-glass post-delivery.
Canvas (Satin, 350gsm poly-cotton canvas)
Made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, this unique heavyweight and professional quality canvas utilises a semi-tight weave that is ideal for fine art reproductions. It offers a high resolution coating that is pliable enough to withstand stretching and displays a subtle texture for artistic look and feel. This option can be purchased unstretched and unframed (rolled), or as a ready-to-hang framed canvas print.
