Complex Pain, Leah Marie Schulz
Vermont
I think it ended up representing where I'm at as well in a lot of the learning that I have had because I allowed myself the time and patience and promised that it would surface and that all of a sudden that would be able to come out when it was ready. And that's really what happened.
There are a lot of layers on this canvas because it's just a lot of feelings that came out and there's a whole black layer and there's a whole green slime layer and all these feelings on that canvas. Until it really all of a sudden just felt like I could feel it in my body.
It really ended up being a snapshot of where I am today and that precipice of understanding and knowing and accepting the pain that I have been in but understanding and knowing that I won't stay here, and that feels like that. That's the snapshot for me.
