Dedicated to the People Who Destroyed Me, is a collection of ceramic objects, with a focus undertaken by the artist to meticulously examine, confront, and navigate through the complexities of sexual traumas that have deeply affected them.
Exploring a range of forms and surface textures, the artist intends to share their own feelings with the viewer and hope to connect to those with similar experiences. Each piece within the collection is not merely a work of art but a vessel of emotion, pain, and healing.
The artist employs various techniques to manipulate the clay, creating surfaces that are both smooth and jagged, mirroring the tumultuous journey of recovery. Through this tactile medium, the artist translates their internal dialogue and experience into tangible forms, inviting viewers to engage with the art on a personal level.
The collection serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of art as a means of processing and communicating traumatic experiences. By bringing these intimate and often hidden stories to the forefront, the artist fosters a space for dialogue and understanding, offering safety and solidarity to those who have endured similar hardships.
