This powerful illustration shows the face of a young Southeast Asian woman, one half of whose face is covered by a white mask that is just beginning to break. The fragile parts of the mask allow her true identity to shine through, symbolising a moment of revelation and self-discovery. Her uncovered face expresses a mixture of strength and vulnerability, as if she is freeing herself from the false façade and showing herself in her authentic form. The dark background, streaked with white brushstrokes, reinforces the sense of inner conflict and the movement towards self-acceptance. The breaking mask and the contrasts between light and dark reflect the emotional process of overcoming old protective mechanisms and facing one's own truth. This depiction thematises the painful but liberating path of self-discovery and acceptance.
