This series discusses the concept of trauma spots on the body. Influenced by the phenomenon discussed in the book “The Body Keeps Score” by Bessel Van Der Kolk. This also challenges the feeling of no longer owning the body you are in because of the things that have happened to you. This was a project that allowed me to not only take back the parts of me I felt like I lost, but to also accept and own what had been done.
Some of the images are featured in another project I had created titled, “The Summer of 2016.” Images and written works are all excerpts from “Summer of 2016 (1st Editon).”
