Description
i destroy that which harms me by simple virtue of continuing to exist
things get curiously rough when you relive past traumatic abuse at the hands of another, and then begin to connect with others who suffered similarly from the same abuser
idek if this information would ever be helpful to anyone, but sometimes when things seem kind of bleak, the only thing you can keep sure of is that you are still here, even if you are a little or a lot more worse for wear than when you had started out
you are still here and by that very fact means you will still conquer

You have such a great range of skills and styles in your work, and your more atmospheric pieces are a great example of that. I feel that the overall composition and lighting here beautifully capture a mixture of hope and trauma.
The speckles/particles create an impression of scattered light and soft glows, or otherwise snow, or fog, or even ash. I love the inclusion of the staff/cane, which in my eyes has a dual implication of injury and acquired wisdom. And the contrast between the two sides of the face (or mask?) looks like a crossing of distress and clarity -- that in spite of the pain, one can look onward.
I'm sorry for your experience. But the fact that you can come out and share this piece and these words on the matter warrants a great deal of respect. Thank you for this; I believe it's something many people need to hear, and it reminds me of things I've been through, too.

However, it's a wonderful art.

i mean them definitely as more of words of strength but i suppose the nature of abuse is something somewhat sad isnt it

Incredibly, beautifully executed psychological expression, as always. Your unabashedly multifaceted personality and approach to art never ceases to intrigue me.
Plus, that advice is the truest thing I 'know'.

I love the design of the creature in this. It feels quite melancholy to me, but there's also a kind of warmth from the overall reddish plum tone.

I have a little saying thats less poetic, but similar, its just that no matter what happens I probably won't die, and it keeps me looking forward and willing to take necessary risks in life.
