Dubem (2024)
Mixed Media (acrylic, gold leaf, rope on canvas) | 80 x 219cm
From Helen :
"When I created "DUBEM," I was deeply moved by a harrowing story I witnessed firsthand. Chidubem, an autistic boy, was subjected to severe abuse by the person he trusted the most: his father. The redness in his eyes revealed the depth of his pain, a pain he couldn't articulate due to his condition. Witnessing this, I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness and didn't know how to react at the moment. This artwork is my response, my way of processing and addressing the trauma I saw. Through Chidubem, I wanted to convey not just the suffering but also the hope—hope for a future where he can experience true love, find healing, and become the best version of himself, seeing the world in vibrant new colors."
