Fragmented selves, 50x70 cm, acrylic paint and therad on canvas
After traumatic experience, there are several selves in conflict and each part holds different memories, beliefs, sensations, emotions; all this parts have a function to protect the self from feeling the traumatic experience.
Labeled, acrylic paint and thread on paper 15x20 cm
The stigma, the stereotypes and the discrimination associated with a significant mental health problem is for some people almost as difficult to manage as the experience of being unwell. A label is a definition. I needed to express "labelling" by sewing one work upon another but at the same time by sewing I mean reconstructing, healing and repairing, making connections there where are attachment disorders.
