Hands have the capacity to speak volumes, to express countless emotional states and human connections through their contortions and interactions. They have become the vessel through which I explore themes of mental health, trauma, and recovery. That is what my work is all about, a physical interpretation of experiencing trauma and finding strength to reach out for help. Through the twisting, interlocking hands I present stages of PTSD, the struggle of searching for help and not simply caving in under the anxiety, and holding onto hope and the aid of loved ones, not completely healed, not the same as you once were, but managing to cope. Immerse yourself in this world, and as always, have hope.
