About the Artwork:
The girl could feel the rumors all around her. She glanced over her shoulder; only to be startled by her own shadow. The whispers took on a life of their own, spiraling out of her control. She became haunted by their ever looming presence. Words were put in her mouth; her soul exposed. Will she ever be free of others’ scrutiny? Or will she forever be followed; never to escape her own shortcomings?
