This series is made after undergoing cPTSD therapy for childhood trauma. On this road, I had to face emotions locked up so many years ago. In order to help myself, I created these 4 characters: Shame, Sadness, Anger and Fear. The work is all self-portraits, and all the outfits are made by me. Long hours of knitting and embroidering allowed me the space needed to sit with my past to stop carrying it into the future.
