These series of works, titled “Confrontation of The Absent Hero,” is rooted in a profound childhood memory that has influenced my personal journey. Through the lens of Processwork, I have unearthed a lingering fear of failure, which often leads me to surrender my personal power and responsibility. This yearning for a hero to rescue me from my challenges reveals a childhood wish for salvation that, while seemingly innocent, has deep ramifications—creating patterns of avoidance that inadvertently harm myself and those I seek to protect.

These artworks serve as a platform for me to delve into my personal psyche. By embodying the challenges I face, I give life to these experiences through performance and staged imagery, allowing me to confront the trauma directly within the art itself.

I believe in the transformative power of art; it has the potential to elevate our consciousness regarding our personal histories and facilitate healing. Through “Confrontation of The Absent Hero,” I invite viewers to join me in this exploration, encouraging reflection and dialogue about our own journeys toward empowerment.
