This body of work was born out of an assignment to create a series of distorted self-portraits. The unprocessed trauma I was carrying in body at the time, had reached a boiling point and something about observing my reflection on distorted surfaces and recording these impressions felt closer to the truth than other more “accurate” self-portraits I had made in the past. It was only years later, after becoming a psychotherapist- that I would come to find out that great Psychotherapists of the past like Carl Jung, had spoken about the inner fragmentation that takes place in psychological conflict and experiences of trauma. The fragmentation felt palpable to me at the time, and once again- I found healing through giving it expression on paper. This work also alludes to my intuitive awareness of the multiplicity of the human psyche- a concept that I was formally introduced to many years later through my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
