In the biblical story, Judith beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes, who tried to force her into submission. Her story has inspired countless artists throughout history. In this image, her legacy takes on a modern voice: the red shoes — now a symbol of the fight against violence toward women — and the twin shadows, resembling angelic wings, evoke strength, resistance, and the reclaiming of one’s voice. The vertical composition and dramatic lighting give the piece an imposing presence, making it both a work of beauty and a bold statement.
