‘Everything I’ve Ever Been’ works with deep vulnerability and is the process of opening up further and further, piece by piece. My body serves as a playground of hide and seek to explore hidden trauma and memories, where the scratches serve as an intuitive map of where to look for.
The seemingly aggressive marks are only a tool of destruction to dig up the pieces that need healing, which is an infinite process of searching for understanding and the softness that comes with it.
The work developed through many stages, where its evolution of growth starts with the pure image of my body to the exploration of where it feels the need to let go of stuck emotions, slowly digging deeper and with every stage, giving time and energy to open up.
