Drawing inspiration from the iconic "Flower Power" movement of the 1960s and 1970s, this artwork reimagines the female body as a site of peaceful resistance and empowerment. Aligned with the exhibition's focus on "Embodied Realities," the vibrant floral motifs become metaphors for bodily strength, resilience, and beauty. The artist encourages every woman to embody her right to exist, persist, and flourish, reclaiming her body not as an object of conflict but as a powerful expression of identity and peaceful protest.
