STORY
This work marks a significant milestone as the artist’s first self-portrait. Protect Your Peace, Cowgirl is a study in ambiguity and self-preservation. By intentionally hiding the eyes, nose, and mouth, the composition shifts the focus away from the individual’s identity and toward the act of protection. It represents the conscious choice to show only what is necessary to the outside world, creating a “guarded” beauty that prioritizes internal peace over external validation.
It serves as a visual mantra for the modern era—a reminder that privacy is a form of power and that one’s energy is a sanctuary worth defending.
