I heal to break cycles of suffering, cycles of humans hurting other humans to escape their pain. And the process of healing itself is a form of cycling. Turning our hearts and minds inside out and over, creating new mental pathways, birthing new ways of being through turning, turning, turning, feeling, feeling, feeling with each pass through processing our own memories, our histories. The healing is in feeling the pain, all the pain we couldn’t let ourselves feel before. And with each turn around, each tear we shed, we water the seeds that will grow into a better future — for ourselves and future generations.
Reflecting the themes of the work itself, this artwork can be displayed both horizontally and vertically.
About the Cycle Breakers collection
Each of the works in my Cycle Breakers series has gone through many stages. The layers underneath look very different! Yet, there is a common thread in the process: creating from stillness, peace, and clarity then creating with bold strokes from intense emotion, and vice versa, repeat, repeat.
Breaking cycles is similar: there’s beauty, hope, and clarity behind the choice to be a cycle breaker. Yet, there’s also messy, wild, intense, confusing, and frustrating emotions to be felt while breaking free and maintaining the boundaries needed to stay free.
The artworks in this series express this duality, my heartbreak AND my hope as a cycle breaker. I hope they also bring validation, solidarity, and understanding to others who've made the beautiful and painful choice to heal from trauma.
