This self-portrait explores the resurfacing of past wounds and the struggle between self-doubt and healing. Light and dark coexist, symbolizing the journey of transformation. The black birds represent old traumas, while the angelic figure reflects growth and redemption. "Atonement" is a visual reminder that our shadows can shape us, and by embracing them, we can turn pain into something beautiful.
