Unmasking (2024) Schilderij door Kinga Makowka

There comes a pivotal moment when we begin to peel away the layers we've worn to navigate the world—layers that may have concealed our true selves in an effort to blend in or meet external expectations. "Unmasking" captures this courageous journey of self-discovery and acceptance, celebrating the profound liberation that comes from embracing one's authentic identity.

"Unmasking" embodies the vulnerability and strength required to confront societal norms and internalized perceptions. It speaks to the relief and joy found in understanding oneself more deeply—realising why we are built the way we are and appreciating the unique perspectives we bring to the world. This journey is both personal and universal, resonating with anyone who has ever felt the need to hide parts of themselves.

The painting invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of self-discovery and the masks they may wear. It encourages a deeper connection with oneself and fosters empathy towards others who are on their own paths of unmasking. By engaging with this artwork, you're inspired to embrace authenticity, celebrate individuality, and recognise the beauty in our diverse ways of being.

Let it serve as a daily reminder to honour your true self, to shed the layers that no longer serve you, and to encourage others to do the same.
