In Hakama No. 5, a contemporary addition to the series, a female figure stands fully present against a muted grey-olive background. Executed in a realistic manner, certain angles and details are intentionally blurred, emphasizing gesture and presence over individual identity.
The figure is partially nude, with her chest exposed, and she grips the parts of the black hakama skirt with her thumbs, pulling it slightly aside. Her stance is symmetrical, feet firmly planted, radiating confidence and equilibrium. The gesture is both assertive and composed — a clear declaration of self-possession and acceptance.
Her blurred face draws attention to the body and gesture: the lifted chest and open posture convey pride, strength, and the harmonious coexistence of tenderness and warrior-like energy. Legs together, stance grounded, she embodies full presence, asserting: I am here. I am a woman.
The painting communicates a delicate balance between challenge and affirmation — a statement of being, of self-acceptance, and of embodied power within the world.
