Forge Forward: "Suffering is a Choice" Art Print

This richly detailed, Art Nouveau-inspired piece is a visual reminder that perspective shapes experience. Featuring elegant symmetrical florals in soft blush, green, and saffron tones, accented with periwinkle blue, this print is both a protest and a proclamation: Suffering is a choice, not a requirement.

At the centre, a many-faced figure turns and shifts, representing the multiplicity of perception and the power of reframing.

Made in response to a wave of complaints flooding social media, this work challenges the narrative of creative victimhood. It’s a love letter to resilience, a nudge toward accountability, and a celebration of the unprecedented opportunities we have as modern creatives.
