The things we don’t say…

There are so many things in life that are left unsaid, many of these can leave profound marks within us.

I am thinking about these things and how my visual language, my drawings and paintings could help me create a bridge with them. With the things that were left unsaid and the ones that need to be out in the open so that I may heal. Also so that others who must also repress their words and their livelihood can see themselves reflected and find their own path towards healing.

I am journaling ocassionally but more and more than I did in the past. My writing is carrying my artistic process forward as I reflect on my experiences, as I absorb what I read and as I continue to grow every day into the woman I am meant to be.

One day I hope to say much more than I can do today, healing has been a long journey on the making for me. It’s a lonely journey a lot of the time, but it is present and I can feel it and embrace it.
