The original artwork, The Girl with

a Pearl Earring, tells the story of a
16-year-old girl who works as a
maid in the house of painter
ABDAO, RIANNA CECILIA S.

Johannes Vermeer. Back then,

women were expected to cook,
clean, and perform other
household duties and were viewed
as property by their fathers and
husbands. But in my version, I go by
the quote that says ‘Women are the
real architects of society, they can
create anything they want’. Red
represents vitality, passion,
strength, courage, and creativity.
There is no force greater than a
woman determined to rise even in
the face of great adversity; the
pandemic.
