About the Artwork:
‘Fortitude’ is part of a series exploring stoicism and the quest for inner strength in the face of overwhelming challenges. In this piece, a woman carries a heavy, dull metal mask with a neutral, almost impassive expression—a protective barrier that lets her become a neutral observer of her emotions. The creeping knots of coral and the embroidered gryphon on her cloak imbue her with resilience that quiets her doubts and guides her forward. – Danny Bitton
