This one held back tears — and painted instead.

PTSD N°2 is the second painting in a series born in the quiet aftermath of emotional collapse. It wasn’t planned. It happened — like breath returning to a body that forgot how to inhale.

Every pink cheek, red scratch, and uneven line is a memory not spoken — but felt. This work does not ask for pity. It exists for those who know the language of surviving in silence.

This painting is part of Breath of Survival, a 3-part original series born from the unspoken, where every brushstroke is an act of staying alive.

One of a kind. Ready to frame.
Created with soul — for a heart that knows the quiet war.
