Listening is Her Power

6 X 6 in, acrylic on canvas

Seated in composed stillness, the figure in Listening is Her Power becomes an emblem of focused attention. Her head rests gently against her hand, not out of fatigue, but resolve. Behind her, luminous forms shimmer like echoes of untold stories—fragments of voices, truths, or distractions that surround but do not penetrate her focus.

This is not a portrait of passivity. It is a study in presence as quiet strength. The subject is not asking, not reacting—she is listening. Fully, patiently, without urgency or judgment. She understands that truth is rarely immediate; it reveals itself in time, in hesitation, in what is left unsaid.

Through controlled posture and restrained expression, the painting explores listening as an act of care, discernment, and power. She will not rush the story. She will hear it all.
