Fragility
Annabella Dunkel • Painting, 60×40 cm
Description of the artwork «Fragility»
Oil on paper
The painting symbolizes the fragility of a woman in abusive relationships, depicting her as a delicate figure with a rose for a head, gripped by a harsh male hand. The contrast between the tenderness and beauty of the rose and the coarse, clenching hand represents control and oppression, emphasizing the woman's vulnerability and helplessness in such relationships. It is a powerful depiction of the dynamics of power and strength, where beauty and tenderness are overshadowed by cruelty.
