In Bird’s Eye Deep, the artist expresses the deep plunge into the vast unknowns of healing from complex trauma and the emotions that would attempt to consume.

This piece in the series represents that surge of emotions swelling, about to slam the one with PTSD, the moment she has a flashback.

Wavelets is the third piece in the series. It explores the ripples, the settling, the inbetweens in recovery from complex trauma. These are the relatively calm before the storm.

Continuing to demonstrate the intensity of trauma recovery in this Depths of Healing series, Billow Breaking conveys the magnitude of emotional memories held in the body’s cells, the violent force trauma takes on a nervous system, and floods of grief about to hit at any moment.

Anchored Ariel represents the artist’s all-encompassing recovery from complex trauma as she is anchored to her Heavenly Father. Even in the depths of healing, when the ocean is raging, the surges of sadness crest, breakers of darkness try to drown, and the grief is vast, God is mightier. He calms the storm that only He can, as peace and joy abound.
