In A More Truthful Portrait Of My Lived Reality, a woman stands at the center of the composition, surrounded by a small, almost delicate fence. The fence, while offering a sense of security, also conveys a sense of confinement—limiting her movement and interaction with the world beyond. This visual metaphor speaks to the boundaries that define our personal realities, both physical and psychological, and the ways in which we construct these barriers to protect or isolate ourselves.

The figure, though enclosed, is not entirely restricted—there is space for her to reflect, move, and exist within the confines of her own experience. The fence, in its fragility, becomes a symbol of the tension between the desire for freedom and the need for protection, echoing the internal conflicts we often face as we navigate life’s challenges. The choice of the woman as the focal point emphasizes the individuality of this experience, highlighting how each of us creates our own portrait of reality shaped by personal history, emotions, and external circumstances.
