'I thought it was over'
Multimedia collage
A4 (210 x 297mm)
The seventh in a series of 12 collages.
"I thought I had put it in the past. I thought it was over. But it wasn’t. The violation came back in disguise. It was in the shadows that followed me. It was in the hungry eyes of men. It was in my smallness. It was in trying to please. It was in my food."

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.
