"Body Survived"
Debut Solo Art Exhibition

In response to my experiences with sexual assault, I sought out to create a body of work that served as my voice in a circumstance in which I felt suffocated and silenced, as victims of sexual trauma are subject to, particularly in the court system. This gallery serves as a firsthand account of my processing and experiences regarding sexual trauma.

​

This exhibition challenges the voyeuristic nature of the viewer in this scenario, subjecting them to a suspension between the planes of reality, memory, and ​reaction. In conjunction with the vulnerability of sharing an intensely personal message, I sought to challenge myself physically. To create 16 works of art consisting of drawings, paintings, poems, and conceptual sculptures that varied in aesthetic style, color palette, medium choice, etc. 

​

This gallery idea was conceptualized over a period of one year, and subsequently materialized in three months.​​
