Fractured

This is an acrylic on canvas depiction of what it can feel like to take time to relax in the wake of a traumatic experience. There is a notion of guilt that arises when you are able to take a step back from trauma-induced emotions, grief in particular, caused by the fear and confusion of not feeling it for all that it's worth. The concept of tranformation is used to suggest that emotional wounds are not all encompassing or linear, but more comparable to a tree, in that a person will continue to grow in spite of their experience.
