About this work

"Cinderella Tries The Shoe / Impostor Syndrome" is a poignant reflection on the internal conflict that arises when external validation clashes with self-doubt. The artwork's title draws a parallel between Cinderella's transformation and the artist's own journey of self-discovery and reinvention. The image of Cinderella trying on the glass slipper, a pivotal moment of recognition and acceptance, is juxtaposed with the concept of Impostor Syndrome, highlighting the internal struggle to believe in one's own worth and accomplishments. This resonates with the artist's own experiences of navigating various professions, from interior designer to solicitor, and now, mosaic artist and lecturer. Each transition has been marked by success, yet also by a sense of inhabiting someone else's shoes, a feeling that fuels a relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration. Even in her current artistic practice, the artist embraces a medium that demands constant adaptation and innovation, mirroring the ongoing process of self-discovery and re-evaluation. The artwork serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, acknowledging the challenges of self-doubt while celebrating the courage to embrace new paths and redefine oneself. " (Amy Jackson)
