Multimedia collage

"I wanted to kiss him. Nothing more.
He was rough. Knew what he wanted.
I didn’t know how to say no.
I was on my knees when I saw the blood.
And still I couldn’t stop."

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.
