Days of Healing is a body of work I created in response to a series of traumatic events that happened to me over one year. These events included the sudden death of a dear friend, the loss of my beloved Granny and something else that I'm not quite ready to share. It was a relentless year of chaos and loss; at points I didn't know how to make sense of anything. I didn't know how to cope. Through art I have been able to process what happened, I have been able to give space to my emotions. My intentions for this exhibition was to show all sides of my grieving, the ugly angriness, the unbearable numbness, the guilt, the calm, the acceptance. Trauma and grief can be very isolating, it feels like no one can understand. I hope that this exhibition can allow people to relate to emotions I felt, and to feel okay with giving those emotions the space they need. To not push anguish deep down, to feel it, to acknowledge it and heal from it.
