Navigating - Closure

​​Navigating - Closure, is a series of eight paintings that explore what trauma can feel like, experiencing the layers of emotions that often shape our identities and perceptions. Through the use of acrylic paint, I seek to translate the often inexpressible feelings associated with trauma into tangible forms. The work is rooted in vulnerability—inviting viewers to explore their own emotions evoked by experiences in their own lives. My objective is to create a space for empathy and understanding, where the rawness of trauma can coexist with transformation and healing. Through my painting, I try to show the ability to foster a human connection in isolation. I hope that by sharing this work, I can inspire others to reflect on their own stories and find comfort in the shared human experience.
