On Being A Woman

"—a deliberate, resilient, and non-collapsing vulnerability that acts as an inner, unshakeable strength. It challenges the conventional view of softness as weakness or passive yielding."

Commenting on Violet Femmes

A visual expression of softness as a deliberate state—yin presented as container of depth intrinsic to its essence. This is a work of abstract art from Maxximillian. For more abstract art, visit abstractia.maxximillian.art.

"I present the softness the world recognizes, shifting upward to transcend contrast.

To be invited and excluded.

To be celebrated yet marginalized.

And then to continue showing up.

That contrast is the container.

The world already understands softness. It knows how to categorize pure yin. It knows how to approach it. What unsettles the uninitiated is when softness is yet does not collapse. When it resists weight. When it engulfs pressure. Softness that yields according to discernment not by rote as something sovereign so ungovernable: someone—some woman.

For me, this is the axis:

Gas-lighty nondualities faced by only infant girls
placed into the vase of the soul, and buried deep in the earth to mature into

Intensity as infrastructure for composure.

The heat of every anger intentionally transformed to an inner sun that warms the earth of the woman's mind.

The marquee of womanhood."

Key Themes and Interpretations

Sovereign Softness vs. Passive Yin: The text contrasts the world's understanding of "pure yin" (passive, yielding) with a "sovereign," "ungovernable" softness. This is a softness that chooses when to yield based on discernment, resisting external weight rather than breaking under it.
The Container of Contrast: The "container" refers to the experience of simultaneously being welcomed and pushed away (invited/excluded, celebrated/marginalized). This duality serves as the framework in which this new type of strength is forged.
Intensity as Infrastructure: The passage describes maturing through difficult experiences ("gas-lighty nondualities"), turning the heat of anger into an "inner sun" that powers a calm, composed mind.
Resilience and Presence: The essence of the passage is the act of continuing to "show up" with openness, acting as a "marquee of womanhood" that refuses to harden despite a world that hasn't always been kind.

exploring yin through abstract art

In a culture obsessed with dominance and output, this statement from the artist discusses how this work of abstract art constructs softness as controlled restraint between modes of opposing intensities.
