The Last Supper: When A Woman Speaks Up

Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, this drawing captures the moment when a quiet comment sparks a ripple of animated reactions, igniting emotions and transforming expressions. The theatrical scene is suspended in time as these responses radiate from the epicentre, much like the ripples from a pebble dropped into a pond.
