This striking linocut-style illustration depicts two women in intimate profile-one gently cradling her face in sorrow, the other leaning in with empathy-symbolizing compassion in the face of false shame. The bold orange-and-black contrast evokes mid-20th-century social posters, reinforcing themes of psychological resilience and interpersonal healing. The partial text “FALSE SHAME AND” suggests an unfinished narrative, inviting reflection on what follows: redemption, understanding, or community.
