This piece was created at a time when I was really struggling with my only goal being to survive. I was determined to bury myself in something that wasn’t painful. At the time I was trying to run away from my feelings because my pain was too fresh. Now that I am grounded, I am able to remember the feelings that influenced this piece. It felt like someone had taken me apart and put me back together the wrong way and it was up to me to fix it. This piece illustrates the disconnectedness that I felt from my body as a result of this immediate and all consuming pain and my attempts to literally put myself back together.
