COMPARTMENTALIZATION
By Jacquie Comrie
Artist Statement
This work pays homage to the power of the female mind and body — their
miraculous, transformative nature, strength, resilience and power. It
emphasizes the importance of female mental health and how social issues
affect our brains and self-care as women. We learn to compartmentalize
our feelings and sometimes painful experiences to get through life. Through
an orchestrated colour palette, the design aims to elevate the minds of
all individuals, still focusing on celebrating the warrior, and the power and
beauty of the female spirit.
