Poster "Trauma"

"I felt so lost and misunderstood all those years of abuse. It was so traumatising to be forced to normalise all this constant nightmare" 

Size: 16x16inches = 40.64x40.64cm 

We present a poignant artwork titled "Trauma," with the deeply personal subtitle "I felt so lost and misunderstood all those years of abuse. It was so traumatising to be forced to normalise all this constant nightmare." This piece offers a raw and intimate glimpse into the enduring impact of trauma, particularly from prolonged abuse, and the struggle towards healing and understanding.

The artwork captures a figure shrouded in darkness, their face partially obscured by a heavy hood, with only their eyes piercing through the shadow. The eyes are wide, intense, and filled with a haunting depth, conveying a sense of fear, vigilance, and the silent cry for help that often accompanies trauma. The use of black and white enhances the somber mood, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and dark, much like the contrast between moments of clarity and the overwhelming darkness of traumatic experiences.

The figure's hands are clasped together near their face, fingers intertwined in a gesture that could suggest both protection and anxiety, a physical manifestation of the internal conflict and the need for self-soothing. This pose, combined with the shadowed visage, creates a powerful visual metaphor for the isolation and concealment that victims of abuse often feel, hiding their pain from the world while internally grappling with it.

The title "Trauma" and the subtitle together provide a narrative that speaks to the experience of enduring abuse, the normalization of a living nightmare, and the profound sense of being lost and misunderstood. This artwork is not just a visual representation but a voice for those who have suffered in silence, offering a space for empathy and recognition of the long-term effects of such experiences.

"Trauma" invites viewers to reflect on the hidden battles many face, encouraging a dialogue about the importance of understanding, support, and the journey towards healing. It's a reminder that behind the facade of normalcy, there can be a world of pain that needs acknowledgment and compassion to begin the process of recovery.
