Battle‑Ready

The Story of Battle-Ready

Battle-Ready emerges as a powerful testament to the armour we forge within, to face the battles of life. It is crafted with the raw grit of construction cements and layered with multiple luminous veils of acrylic glazes on canvas. Measuring 91 cm x 91cm, this mixed media work stands as a metaphorical suit of chain-mail, its rugged, textured expanse a shield against life’s relentless wars – each crack and ridge a scar of resilience earned.

The horizontal band, aglow with metallic sheen, offers a hopeful glimpse outward, a window through the armour where the human spirit peers beyond the struggle, reflecting light and the promise of victories yet to come. This piece is a duality of strength and optimism, a silent sentinel for those who face adversity with courage, designed to inspire fortitude and hope in spaces of challenge and reflection.
