She Slept for Centuries

As I layered wax, colour, and embedded marks, she emerged like an archetype rising from history, carrying the knowledge, creativity, and sovereignty that women have held even when dismissed or erased.

Her sleep is strength gathered across generations. She stands for the now returning—voices reclaiming space, intuition becoming visible, and the collective awakening of feminine power that refuses to remain hidden.

She has waited long enough and this piece honours her rising.
