By developing the artistic style of abstract realism, this work in the medium of oil painting and digital elaboration focuses on the story of a Nepali woman who, by rebelling against constraining social norms in relation to gender roles and household hierarchy, is said to be possessed by evil spirits. Through portraitures and selected scenes, this visual account portrays a changing society, revealing the desire of young people to move toward egalitarian relations despite the risk of incurring social condemnation
