Sporadic Moments

This piece is the solution to the prior piece. The solution is only temporary because there is no real cure for depression. The emotional abuse victims can ride the roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs. There is always going to be a part of the victim that is dipped into depression, but if he/she continues to follow his/her hearts, there will be "Sporadic Moments" of bliss to get them through.

$500.00 or $900.00 for both pain and solution.

Scarred For Life

The First pieces is called,  "Scarred for life". Emotional abuse victims may acquire depression in the future or in their current state of being. Depression takes hold of its victims. It controls their thoughts negatively and makes them feel lost. I wanted this painting to represent the feeling of being in a black hole and having no real way to escape. The feeling will supersede all others that may have been acquired throughout life. It will never truly go away.

Altered Book Sculpture:

               The book that I altered was pieced together from three book covers. I used cut paper for the pages, and the rest of the materials are: one blade, fingernail polish, black and gold acrylic paint, tape, band aids, string, and wax. This book was inspired by someone who had taken the breath from their own lungs. Life is precious and emotions are easily malleable. I have been distributing the poem written in the middle of the book, in the places where I have been. I wrote this poem long ago during a student leader camp I was associated with. In this camp, we all came together and shared stories that touched everyone's hearts. We were trying to figure out a cure for bullying because too many students were committing suicide due to it. I feel that this book will generate an abundance of thoughts and will provoke some good intentions. (hopefully).

Embrace it

The second piece is called "Embrace it" because frustration is such a force or power, the emotionally abused can use that to their advantage and embrace it. They can use that energy to conceive motivation towards leaving the abuse and reaching for help. Though there is no real cure for Frustration, the knowledge of its capabilities is great! frustration doesn't have to be painful. I also painted this piece to be chaotic, but it is more playful.

Frustration

This piece is called "Frustration". Though everyone may have some frustration in their lives, emotional abuse victims take on a new world with this word. Everything is a power struggle against frustration. Their minds are torn with thoughts of things that have happened and the things that are going to happen. They have survived the abuse, but they can never reach complete protection; protection from thoughts and feelings. The chaos in this painting is to symbolize the frustration and the thoughts going on in the mind of a victim.

Letting it all out

This is a piece that I created during Painting Club. It is mixed media. I was fighting with a new medium of paint. I decided to add paper to it because i was tired of looking at it. a week later, I pull the paper and saran wrap away from the canvas and I get exactly how I was feeling that day. surprise. surprise.
