Story / Additional InfoThis work shows a figure in the center that seems to be caught up in a storm of sorts, which is symbolic of women and the work that they find themselves committed to. The figure to the side is the self that the author strives to be but seldom achieves. The face to the left is the male critic who criticizes her either way she goes. The artist strives for a balance between the two states, but finds it hard to achieve. There is chaos in the painting but a controlled chaos. The artist was influenced by the painted collages of Romare Bearden but gave this a feminist twist.
