A Choice

57” x 41”, mixed media on canvas

Acrylics, spray paint, chalk, charcoal

A Choice is a bold and emotionally charged mixed media painting that explores the tension between external pressure and personal agency. Created on a large-scale canvas with layered acrylics, spray paint, chalk, and charcoal, the piece captures the noise of expectation—the decisions others try to make for you, the weight of opinions, and the intensity of influence.

Within this expressive chaos, powerful symbols emerge: blooming flowers, flowing seeds, and an abstracted woman with a full belly—figures of fertility, potential, and becoming. She climbs one of the larger forms towering over her, as if challenging the forces that loom above. She does not wait to be lifted—she rises, demanding her place, her power.

A Choice is a visual reckoning. It speaks to creation—not only of life, but of self. It is about realizing that amid all the pressure and noise, you still have a choice. A choice to define yourself. A choice to act. A choice to grow. It is both a confrontation and a declaration of freedom.
