The painting "Pushover" depicts the aftermath of a cycle of narcissistic abuse, where the victim is left to pick up the pieces and often made to feel like the one to blame. The lime green and earthy orange brown color palette represents the complex emotions felt by the victim, from anger and frustration to sadness and defeat. The central image of a girl with a bloody nose putting on bandaids on someone's bloody knuckles shows the twisted dynamic of the relationship, where the victim takes care of the abuser even in their own pain. The hastily repaired wall in the background symbolizes the false sense of security and stability that the victim tries to maintain in the face of the abuse.
 
This painting aims to shed light on the damaging effects of narcissistic abuse. It shows how victims of abuse often hide their pain and try to make sense of the chaos in their lives, while the abuser continues to manipulate and control. It is a representation of the struggles that many people face in abusive relationships, and a reminder that healing and breaking free is possible. Through this piece, I hope to convey the importance of empathy and support for those who have experienced abuse, and to showcase the power of art to express complex emotions and experiences.
