"The title of my acrylic on canvas self-portrait, ‘Celebrating Hybrid Femininity, Like a Girl’ (100x150cm), relates to the painting’s implication; that is my reclamation of my femininity and identity as a woman. My past perceptions were to regard femininity as a weakness rather than strength, which was rooted in my internalised sexism. I now not only accept my femininity but embrace it and bask confidently in the freedom of muliebrity."
