Artist Statement:
Human beings have been telling stories ever since we have existed. For this art piece I decided to tell some of my story through visual representation. Through the process of ‘going down the rabbit hole’ of my past I experienced witnessing my journey and holding my story with compassion. Being witnessed is a powerful form of healing. For hundreds of years people lived in tribes surrounded by their community. In modern day society in America there is a mental health epidemic, and this is partly due to people being dis-connected from their communities and themselves. Isolation and not being seen or heard is prevalent in our society. We can change the world one person at a time by witnessing each other and listening to each other’s stories. This is the path to healing and peace.
