If you don't heal what hurt you, you'll bleed on people who didn't cut you. (2023)

The image shows two hands that symbolize an interpersonal relationship. The open hand below represents potential new relationships, while the withdrawing hand above reflects traumatic experiences. The latter bleeds metaphorically and transfers its own traumas to new encounters, such as people who have experienced betrayal or abandonment and now carry with them fears of commitment and trust.

The combined technique of drawing and painting symbolizes the process of processing such traumas: this often requires professional support and time, with each day being a new struggle, marked by progress and setbacks, to heal these wounds permanently.
