Trapped

This piece is about me feeling trapped and not sure how to get out of the abusive relationship I was in. This is a picture of me. I had one of my students take several pictures of me in this position and then I chose the one that worked best for what I wanted to convey. I then added real chain wrapped around and a real lock holding all the chain together. This is the last piece I have for now, but I have several that I have in my head that I am trying to work out so I know which direction I will be going with them. I will post more pics as I finish and work on pieces.

my shoe is off because I hurt my foot and and was stuck in a boot for a LONG time, I did not want the boot in the pic.

I really love how this piece turned out! I love how all of these pieces have been turning out. They are from my soul and have been so healing going through this process and I have found so much piece while doing this and like a HUGE weight has been lifted. I am very thankful and grateful for a prof that was willing to see that I needed to do this and she told me when I was ready I would jump off this bridge and dive in head first and create some very meaningful pieces and that no words would be needed. I think I have done this so far. I have so many more to do and no where near finished but a great start in my healing through art!
