It's a very lonely place not being seen. Series 2

stoneware clay 2021 15x16cm

the process of healing has been a long journey for me

dealing with depression, anxiety, Ocd most of my life.

But I have noticed that the stigma around it has been very difficult for me to deal with.

Over the years I have been in a lot of pain, but haven't had it

acknowledged or seen as a real illness.

At times I felt invisible, I've had lots of days where I felt so empty, and I felt like i could  not see what was going on inside my mind I fell invisible.

So I develop some sculptures that have that  have the feeling of emptiness,  that feeling that I've had to go through most of my life more visual.

So people can see that this is a real illness 

needs to be valid, and seen, as a real illness, just like any other illness.

So the people don't feel so alone what they're going through

that  I have felt at times in my life.
