This piece was made initially within the jungles of deep Peru. Between ceremonies.
It's a visceral expression of the masks I've worn over the years as a Non-Binary being, to "fit" in as a Girl. An expression of the feeling within my body that comes up growing up, not having known there was an outward mirror in my life, offering me the perspective into my own inner landscape, around who I was being permission able.
It's been an ongoing piece for the last 6 months — that I would go back into slowly, at my body's pacing, until one day I felt internally it felt complete.
Although this particular expression is my way of showing to the world a mirror into the shadows of wearing a mask as a Non-Binary being, it also serves to remind people of the masks we take on through generational trauma, around our expressions. The heaviness around it. When we carry these masks without question, and pass it on to the next generation forward carrying the light.
This particular piece doesn't show you the "exit" as much as it shows you something deeply still within the process of being within the mask. The constraints you see within the big masses of darkness, plus the sheer contrast of the white background, stirs up discomfort. It's meant to support the viewer to see, and viscerally feel, what masks are they still wearing — because it's a mask that's been passed on from generation to generation. It proves a mirror to see, question, and open up a doorway through that mirror, of something else — by becoming aware of generational trauma.
This piece is part of a series that will become an Adult Children's book. Taking a print home supports both.
