About the Artwork

Therapy is a Bitch (2018) is one of Davina Shefet’s earliest bodies of work, born from a raw confrontation with the self. Painted in urgent colors and turbulent lines, these works embody the paradox of therapy: a process meant to heal, yet often experienced as violent, destabilizing, and exhausting.

In this series, the body becomes the stage where inner battles unfold. Figures stretch, resist, and dissolve into waves of color, caught between collapse and release. The distorted anatomies are not failures of form but metaphors for what happens when buried tension rises to the surface — when memory, pain, and desire push through the skin in search of expression.

In The Failed Escape, two figures emerge in a clouded, almost suffocating atmosphere. Their outlines blur, as if the act of fleeing is swallowed by the very substance they attempt to outrun. The piece captures the futility of avoiding one’s own inner landscape: no matter how far the body tries to run, the psyche follows. Escape, here, is less about movement and more about surrender — the recognition that healing cannot be evaded.
