“Stoicism is the ability to endure adversity without the display of emotions or without complaint. It is often a challenge to accept our circumstances in life and exist in a world that is unpredictable. The woman in this artwork is striving for quiet composure in the midst of a fractured environment. The owl on her shoulder symbolizes wisdom and shows her desire for knowledge. She will remain strong and steadfast, relying on her instincts and intellect to navigate her challenges rather than letting external forces disturb her.”
