‘We've Got This’ is an empowering art piece by Laura Stöckl that focuses on staying true to your values and confidently saying “no”. This piece embodies female empowerment, portraying the resilience of women who, despite life's challenges, remain aware of their worth.
 
The artwork features a highly curated collage that combines fashion and art magazine cutouts with screenshots of real, personal WhatsApp conversations (identities undisclosed). It also includes Laura’s personal memorabilia, such as her VIP entry pass to Art Basel Miami. This trip, ironically taken with a private collector, served as a significant inspiration for her work and offers a reflective commentary on society.
 
‘We've Got This’ delves into the theme of female empowerment while humorously addressing the challenges faced by young female artists in the art world. The storytelling within this piece is both inspiring and satirical, highlighting the strength required to navigate this domain.
 
Linked to ‘Carrera’, this piece continues the dialogue between femininity and masculinity by showcasing only the lower body parts of women and fast cars. Both artworks complement each other, representing the feminine and masculine versions of the same theme.
 
Come view ‘We've Got This’ in person and experience a layered narrative that challenges perceptions and celebrates the complex interplay of gender, identity, and the art world's dynamics.
