An acrylic painting on canvas, God Is a Woman reimagines the iconic creation scene through a contemporary, feminine lens. Two hands reach toward one another in a soft, dreamlike sky, one adorned with long, polished nails subtly redefining the figure of God.
This piece was the first I created after my father passed, becoming both an outlet for grief and a search for meaning. The butterflies woven throughout the composition reference a sign I received from him, symbolizing presence, transformation, and the possibility that connection does not end with loss.
At its core, the work questions traditional interpretations of death and religion, while also reclaiming them. It became a quiet act of defiance, reshaping the image of God into something that felt more personal: a woman, both gentle and unforgiving, capable of creation, loss, and everything in between.
