SORROWS

Sorrows is a raw, haunting portrayal of struggle and resilience. Drawn entirely in charcoal with delicate touches of white acrylic, the piece depicts a child with closed eyes and tears cascading down his face, set against a dark, textured background. The contrast of darkness and light reflects both despair and hope, the silent weight carried by those who feel different in a world that demands conformity.

This artwork is deeply personal. As an artist with dyslexia, I have poured my own journey into this piece, the frustration of navigating a system not built for minds like ours, the sorrow of being forced to align with paths that don’t reflect our true selves, and the quiet strength found in embracing difference. Sorrows speaks to the hidden battles many endure, and to the beauty in a mind wired uniquely.

Owning this piece is not just about appreciating its powerful imagery, it’s about connecting to the universal truth that struggle shapes us, and that true individuality often comes from walking a path against the current.
