The title of this painting was inspired by a song by Robert Glasper, D Smoke, and Tiffany Gouche titled "Shine."

I encourage you to listen!

They say every artwork is a self-portrait. This painting has multiple meanings for me, one of which is censorship. A person can

censor themselves so much that they no longer see themself. This painting represents a quiet declaration to oneself that you do matter, and what you have to say matters. There are many symbols in the room itself, such as the light coming in the window behind her and the podium-like cushion under her foot, all suggesting change and something coming to light.
