Seen and Not Heard (1) Type:9"x12" Original

Seen and Not Heard (1) Type:9"x12" Original"Seen and Not Heard (1)" is the rawest and most visceral piece in J. Brooke Wades three part series confronting the tension between feminine visibility and silence. In this unsettling and unforgettable watercolor painting, dark purple lipsclamp down on a hazel green human eye, wet with saliva and accented by splattered pigment. Its a confrontation a portrait of restraint, rage, and the sharp discomfort of being objectified, suppressed, and watched.

or simple reflection on the beauty of nighttime solitude

the only line still alive in motion

even if it can't speak

The pastel color palette — glowing pinks

transformation

this piece centers on a feminine skull

and empowerment — quietly powerful and visually unforgettable

It’s a piece that invites stargazing

It’s perfect for those drawn to celestial cat art

This is a powerful piece for altars

as if suspended between dimensions

this one bristles with unease
