"Cellular Communication"- Digital Photography
Trauma affects the mind on a cellular level. Through art making the trauma is managed and reduced. The images were created on clay to emulate cells then photographed and manipulated in Photoshop. The left cell is meant to show the initial state of trauma as a frozen, dark, neon glare. As the trauma is re-exposed through art making the colors become hot. The colors begin to cool as the art therapy continues and the trauma becomes manageable when the cells return to normal.
