Years of battling anxiety have taught me this truth: I possess the ability to harm or heal myself. The choice is mine. Often, my anxiety manifests itself in my hands through fist clenching, fidgeting, or sweating. And still, I choose to purpose these hands for cultivating, for mothering, and for making.
This self-portrait is part of a series of assemblage work that seeks to explain my artistic process. I create tactile representations of my dream symbols as a way to decode their meanings and resolve the conflicts they represent.
