I won’t give up 

"I won’t give up" is an evocative image created with mixed media by Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze. Emerging from a period of intense social change and female empowerment movements, this piece reflects the ongoing struggle for self-assertion. The figure, rendered with bold, fluid strokes, embodies resilience. The deliberate obscuring of the figure's physical form, achieved through the interplay of light and shadow, invites contemplation on the social pressures and expectations placed on women. The subject's stance, one of defiance, speaks to the emotional weight carried by women navigating the politics of identity. Edlinger-Kunze's personal experiences undoubtedly shaped the creation of this piece. This work is not just an image; it's a visceral expression of the artist's refusal to be defeated. The raw emotion conveyed through the brushstrokes is a testament to the power of art in challenging societal norms and celebrating the strength of the individual spirit.
