For my senior exhibition, I combined experiences from my own traumatic past, as well as stories from both greek & norse mythology. Not only do I have cultural ties to these mythologies, but they also feature a plethora of stories that revolve around struggle with a paternal figure.

This exhibition is made up of 10 digital illustrations mounted onto foam core, as well as a book made up of presentation paper, cardstock, and vinyl.

I wanted my exhibition to feel intimate and sophisticated, but still allow room for viewers to take in the works by themselves, and have their own interpretations. The subject matter is quite heavy, but I didn't want that to get in the way of people really taking in and enjoying the work. I wanted my exhibition to be a space where people could explore these stories, and see that those who have gone, or are currently going through abuse aren't stuck. This is meant to showcase my story, or my own mythology of sorts, but it also serves as a sign to those who have gone through a similar situation. Abuse is an extremely hard experience to overcome, and will stick with you for your entire life, but that does not mean you have to let it consume you.
