Complex Pain, Leah Marie Schulz

Vermont

Painting of a woman using white, grey, peach, light blue, colors. She has her eyes closed and her left hand is placed near her right shoulder. There are hints of red paint close to this area.

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.
