she carries it all

This painting is inspired by the tarot archetype of a strong woman — a figure who embodies dignity and resilience despite the unseen weight she carries. She wears a golden crown, holds a sword, and balances a scale — not to judge others, but to hold her own heart and mind in equal tension. Her strength lies not in perfection, but in balance: not letting her emotions rule her, and not silencing her empathy with cold reason. Though her body is scarred, fragmented, and broken open from within, she stands tall. The tears, the pain, the wounds — they are all there, yet so is her crown. The scale she carries is delicate, yet unshaken. In every crack, she is holding herself together — not to appear flawless, but to survive with meaning. This is the portrait of a woman who does not collapse — she calculates the weight of her soul with both passion and wisdom.
