Struggling to Emerge
2003 - Acrylic on Canvas - 8" x 10"
There's
still a lot of darkness
in this image, with lots
of blood still present.
But even with all the pain
I was experiencing, I caught
a glimpse of myself eventually
emerging from the darkness
that was overwhelming my
Soul. Like the symbolic
butterfly, I knew I would
be a different, transformed
woman once I was able to
pull myself up from the
psychological and emotional
quagmire I found myself
in. This was the first glimmer
of hope and eventual freedom
that I had felt in a few
years.
