Emotions translated into craft

An attempt to heal through a creative journey, searching for meaning, bites of truth and ways of giving shape to feelings using what I had around: pieces of wood, aluminum can, dried flowers, wine bottle seal, acorn, onion leaves, pumpkin seeds, polyester, pumpkin cover.

Vulnerability

It will hurt,

But it will also set you free.

Hope

It will uncover your heart

And cover your sorrow.

Heartache

It will make you feel like you loose

When you’re about to win.

The weight of the unspoken

Don’t carry the burden

Anger

If you keep it inside

It will grow.

Fury

Let it out

And watch it go.

Shame

Covering up your loneliness, heartbreak, grief, helplessness, or physical flaws, is volatile as yellow onion skin.

Solitude

Helps you grow.

Freedom

Don’t be afraid

To see yourself small

And carry the clouds of hope…

Freedom 1, 2, 3

The illusion of freedom

Could keep you imprisoned.
