Woman - Maria Leite

Watercolor and ink on paper
11" x 8"
 
This work is the result of my engagement in mindfulness and art-based approaches to cope with isolation during the 2020 pandemic. Each image has a written piece that reflects my perceptions of social and political events that brought additional unrest to a challenging year.
 
WOMAN
 
I am a woman I know
I don’t need you to remind me
 
I am a woman I know
I don’t need you to define me
 
I am woman I know
I don’t need you to recognize me
 
I am a woman I know
I don’t need you to patronize me
 
I am a woman you know
I don’t need to explain it
 
I am a woman you know
I don’t need to prove it
 
I am a woman you know
I don’t need to frame it
 
I am a woman
I am enough
