Bubbling Troubles Away - Continuous Line Self-care Artwork
Pickup currently not available
"Bubbling Troubles Away" is the Black self-care art print that makes a bathroom wall into a sanctuary—a woman in her bath, drawn by Antionette Simmons Hodges in a single continuous line that traces her form with the same unhurried quality as a long soak in warm water. This is self-care artwork that understands what self-care actually means: not a trend, not a hashtag, but the ancient act of a person deciding that their own comfort and restoration matters.
Hodges brings to this subject the same attentiveness she brings to her most culturally significant works. The act of bathing—of taking time for the body, of letting the water do what water does—is both universal and, in the context of Black women's lives, particularly charged. Black women have been told in a thousand ways that their comfort is secondary. Hodges's drawing says something different: this woman is exactly where she needs to be, and the single unbroken line that describes her makes her presence feel inevitable and complete.
Hang "Bubbling Troubles Away" in a bathroom, bedroom, or spa-inspired space where the message of rest and restoration belongs. It makes a wonderful gift for any woman who has earned the right to a long bath—for birthdays, housewarmings, and any occasion that honors self-care and the wisdom to take it seriously.
This archival-quality giclée print is produced on premium cotton rag paper with museum-grade inks, available pre-matted and framed in your choice of Black or Oak frame—completely ready to hang. Available in three sizes from small to large.
Antionette Simmons Hodges honors Black women's rest and restoration with the same love she brings to every subject she touches—bring "Bubbling Troubles Away" home.
