For our daughters

This work explores trauma through the body and its long-term effects from generations later through installation art, video, and photography. As the human experience manifests over time, the past comes to surface through many versions of ourselves. The strong push to recreate oneself over time is shown through the shedding of old behaviors and absorption of positive behaviors. In my work, I take a longer look at three generations that have created unknowingly heavy baggage for me. The goal of this work is to start conversation about long term effects of mental health through genetics and how we can start repairing ourselves for our future generations.
