Balancing the Power of Being a Pillar of Strength


 The power of the concept of the image below was that women have been the pillars of strength for many communities. The idea of women empowerment has been an ongoing struggle. Oftentimes women have not been supported or recognized for these struggles of personal balance. However, women have been there. They have been woven into the very fibers of the society. To symbolize this universal role of women, I used a tree. When one has gazed at the remixed photo of a woman balancing herself within a tree, he or she can visually see the complex similarities between women and trees. Trees have been at the root of civilization, and so has been the role of women.
