People have different experience from one another. Traumatic situations can impact how someone sees their life as a whole. With how your everyday plays out people can be stuck in their head, not being able to find a way out. This is how I came up with the central idea behind my concentration.  Exploring how life impacts a person and how they feel. Traumas whether it be positive or negative can have an impact on someone's life.

 

My exploration was not only through my work but was with my self as well.I realized along the way that my work was about my life and what I was going through.  I started off with struggling to come to terms with the things people were saying about me behind my back and me trying to cover up the impact the opinions of others truly had on me (4 & 5) while also coming to terms with the traumatic situations life had thrown at me. Torturing myself with feelings and dark thoughts, I felt like I was being clawed at from the inside out (2 & 3). Going into a internal depression is hard and questioning my own religion threw me into a bottomless pit. With sleepless nights and routine days I had become a zombie of sorts (1). Acting one way in front of my family and a completely different person at school caused me to have a headache and try and find who I truly am. I realized I was being split in half (10,11, 12). However I found who I truly am and have my family to thank for me being who I am. They can keep you grounded and helped me to realize they are the one constant as I have grown up, no matter what (8).
