MFA Project
"The Broken Mirror Project"
How do personal stories of hardship, bullying, and challenges with mental illness speak to the power of the self to heal, to create within itself, the very seeds of healing? How do we as human beings survive trauma? How can we celebrate the beauty of difference and the gems that get revealed through our fractured identities?
My project explores, through storytelling and object-making (masks and jewelry), an exploration into fractured identity. It is a story of resilience in the face of trauma, culminating in a small book and an exhibit.
Below are excerpts from the Broken Mirror Project.
