Escape is a deeply personal work by Dominique Silva — the contemporary Black artist known as Paperbag. This piece explores the universal longing to break free: from pain, from pressure, from the weight of a world that asks too much. It is an invitation to breathe, to dream, and to find the space within yourself where you are finally, fully free.
Paperbag's work sits at the intersection of mental health, social justice, and raw human emotion. Dominique creates art that gives language to feelings that are hard to name — and Escape is one of the most intimate expressions of that gift.
