Healing For Her, 2022. PB Feels, 2025

Healing for Her At the center, a mother holds her child close, her body curved protectively, almost forming a shield. There’s a tenderness in the way the child rests, but the mother’s face carries something heavier, awareness, memory, and the weight of what she’s lived through. Healing for Her is an acknowledgment of my fears of becoming a mother and the desire to create a life for my daughter that I never had by healing what has hurt me the most so that I don’t bleed onto her. PB Feels “PB Feels” carries the energy of chaos, of ripping open so something honest can come out. Intentionally fragmented, no piece fitting perfectly together, some overlapping the other. Restless, unresolved and mirroring a mind that needed to settle itself untraditionally. Not polished, not poetic, just real.
