Defense Mechanism
by Nadia Rausa
Back when I was still a beginner artist, I loved creating ink drawings heavy in lineart. Especially when it came to drawing hair! I’m not sure why I lost touch with that part of my creative process, but I was inspired to get back to my roots.
This piece, for me, represents the subconscious building of defense mechanisms. The trauma and heartbreak in our lives can sometimes cause us to build a sort of barbed wire shell in hopes to stop future pain, but sometimes that doesn’t allow us to come face-to-face with those hurts. Whatever you have gone through in this life, may love shower you. Even if it doesn’t heal, let it bring solace, and the courage to break open from your protective shell when you feel ready.
