Unmask - The foundational masterpiece that gives its name to this transformative collection, embodying the profound journey of revealing one's authentic self after years of camouflaging and performing neurotypical behaviors.

This powerful 30.5 x 40.6 cm (12 x 16 inch) canvas captures the liberation and vulnerability that comes with dropping the mask - the simultaneous relief and terror of being truly seen. Bold gestural marks and rich textural elements create a visual narrative of self-discovery, where each layer of mixed media represents the complex process of peeling away societal expectations to reveal the beautiful, unfiltered truth beneath.

This original painting celebrates the courage required to live authentically in a world that often demands conformity. As the cornerstone of the 'Unmask' collection, the piece validates the neurodivergent experience of masking and honours those brave enough to show their true selves. The dynamic composition mirrors the emotional complexity of unmasking - moments of bold revelation intertwined with gentle vulnerability.

The mixed media techniques showcase the layered nature of identity through varied acrylic applications that create depth and emotional resonance. Each mark on the canvas represents a step towards authenticity, creating a visual journey that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever felt the need to hide their true self.
