Art of Anna Láng: She was told to be strong

'Stay strong!' We hear these words so many times, especially in the toughest moments of our life and it’s meant to be supportive, but often it also doesn’t leave much space to show vulnerability or sadness. It turns into a constant pressure that forces people to stuck into situations that are destructive, and sometimes even dangerous for them.

I’m using a feminine character on this piece, as usual, but I want to focus the attention to the problem that has no gender and happens to every human being.
