Still I Stand
From the Art with Attitude Series
Resilience has a face—and it’s not yelling, it’s not flinching, it’s not begging to be seen. It’s simply standing.
Still I Stand is a declaration wrapped in poise. The child at its center leans into the viewer’s gaze with unshaken clarity—wounded perhaps, but not broken. Painted in rich, relentless blues, adorned with layered beaded necklaces, the subject is both vulnerable and untouchable. He doesn’t speak—but everything about him says: “I’ve endured... and I remain.”
This piece was created to echo the quiet truth many live but rarely say out loud: pain does not mean defeat. Life throws its worst. People project their doubt. Systems fail. But through it all, this figure—like so many of us—stays upright. And that in itself is radical.
The tan background is textured with graffiti-like affirmations and ghosted writing—fragments of personal truths and societal challenges. It’s the noise we push through. The blue body commands space against that chaos, a visual metaphor for formidability. But this piece isn’t just about surviving storms. It’s about realizing: you deserve more than survival.
Still I Stand offers a new lens on strength. It’s not just about how much you can take. It’s also about knowing when it’s time to receive peace. To let grace in. To stop proving and start healing.
For anyone walking the hard road with their head held high, this painting says what your spirit already knows: you're stronger than you think. And you don’t have to carry it all forever.
