exploration of . . .

SELF.

Wrestling with the idea of the savior complex, my work throughout my art therapy graduate program consistently explored the tension between self-doubt and confidence. Together, these pieces reflected an ongoing inquiry into who I was, where I came from, and the in-between spaces that made me who I was.

A gray hand is reaching out from the top left, holding a small red figurine. There is a large beige letter 'L' made of textured material attached to the wall on the left side.
