Unlearning an Uninvited Sensory Language

Installation
When trauma happens, the body is cut up into pieces. In response, it wears masks to protect itself from further damage. Trauma makes itself home in these pieces and we emphasize the damage it does because we despise it. But what we forget to acknowledge is how our bodies learn to bloom in all that gloom. The masks are objects of resilience, they are the survivors of untold tales of trauma, a translation of sensory language. An uninvited sensory language in disguise. This exhibit encompasses the parameters of what it is to heal as a survivor and victim of sexualized violence and experiencing the death of loved ones.
