Work Description:
In my work, I describe the fraught relationship between me and my parents. Using symbols to represent emotions, people, and moments, I have developed a visual language to discuss the trauma of domestic violence, emotional therapy, and loss. Each character as presented in my thesis is a manifestation of a different moment and thus is represented by a symbol; for example, the bear represents my mother, the rabbit for myself, and so on. Much like the stories I was read in my youth, the narrative I depict is a means of coping with emotional stressors. I explore my own narrative and plot points within my life that make it comical, feared, and treasured all at once. I am in search for what is next in my narrative by revisiting and settling myself with a past I don’t pay enough respect to. // This work was made because of an amazing woman who I lost this year due to COVID who supported her daughter and fought for her no matter what. This and all my future work will be dedicated to you, Momma.
