"Years later, it no longer mattered. I had grown up. I was stronger.
Until another dark night. Champagne flowed. Conversation slowed.
He was older. I thought it was a safe space. It wasn’t.
Sometimes, the wolf wears white linen."

This series of collages is a journey into the shadows. It was an exercise in taking ownership of my experience through a process of enquiry, raw expression, deconstruction and rewriting the narrative. Discovering the beauty in darkness. Through it I was able to shine light on a hidden aspect of my psyche, thereby coming to a fuller expression of my being. Acceptance, integration and finally, surrender.
