Behind Closed Doors
What do we do with the pieces left behind after trauma? The chaos has ended, the world is quiet again, but in the remaining places and objects lives the memory of the things that happened. These memories are layered on top of the current reality, clinging to it like a film.

Creating this body of work has been healing for me in many ways. Forcing myself to sift through these memories has helped me to begin letting them go. Creating these empty rooms has helped me to realize that they are just that, empty. It is time to move forward, peel off the film, and let objects be objects, places be places. But letting go does not mean pretending that these things didn’t happen. These events will forever shape the way I look at the world and act within it, but I do not have to let them hold me back
