"This work is a visual representation of the internalized pain of young women related to suffering abuse as a child. I try to question the human condition in its action and reaction and how proximity and closeness can make you feel safe or unsafe."
- Afra Alsuwaidi on Pressed
My work challenges these notions to uncover the authentic experience of women, provide them with a voice so often silenced, share their stories with audiences internationally and most importantly, empower women around the world.
