Pain Shards

February 29, 2024

Head

I am here. You can’t ignore me anymore. I can’t be suppressed. This is pain. This is discomfort. This is agitation. This is vulnerability.

Heart

Lean into all the pointy bits, learn how to feel the pain. What you resist persists so do I dare let myself feel it for fear of shattering into shards myself?

Hands

The process was heavily content driven. The recurring symbol of shattered, shards of pain explored in multiple contexts. Paper cutter used to create strips of vinyl then plastered onto the canvas in hopes of bringing it together for healing to occur.
