About this artwork

The surreal painting depicts a carnival scene unfolding beneath a cloudy night sky. Tents, a Ferris wheel, and white bunnies scatter across the scene. At the center, a woman with an oversized cat head sits atop a cage, trapping a female performer surrounded by a pride of lions. Part of artist Kat Silver's series of circus-themed paintings, the artwork explores female empowerment and the pressure women face to conceal their authentic selves in the service of others. It invites the viewer to reflect on how girls are often groomed to remain quiet, while boys are taught to be outspoken and lead. Modern women often juggle motherhood, work, and personal life while suppressing themselves to meet societal expectations. In the scene, the woman tames her inner lions.
