“My father was very controlling, verbally, and psychologically abusive to me my whole life. This past year, I have been creating art to help me heal from the trauma and anger he has caused. I wrote down everything he said that affected me and double-exposed it over my face. Everything I wrote down has a story behind it. These stories go through my head on a daily basis. There are times when I have dreams about these events that have happened. I wanted to show sadness, anxiety, frustration, and anger. This is how I have felt in the past and feel when I think of the stories or think of him.”
