Collage on cotton rag paper
30 x 23 inches

This collage is a reflection of my own healing journey as I was revisiting my childhood wounds and understanding the roots of my trauma. In late 2018 I left an abusive and toxic relationship, and began to take a hard look at my own recurring choices and how I consistently placed myself in situations in which my emotions or well being were not considered. In my healing work, assisted by plant medicine and psychedelics, I was able to revisit my childhood trauma and care for my wounded child. This piece honors that process and it's about reparenting myself.
