These series of works stemmed from a core memory I had during my childhood. Through processwork, I have uncovered the side of me where the fear of failure still exists. I am afraid of being a burden to the people around me, including my loved ones.
These series of work, under “Confrontation of The Absent Hero”, becomes a platform for me to explore my personal psyche. Using art to embody the problem and giving it life through the use of performance and staged imagery, I was able to receive the wisdom of confronting the trauma through the art itself.
Art has the potential to raise our consciousness of our personal histories and heal from it.
