You Made the Colors of My World Bleed

This is a painting of mourning and features photos of myself as a child. I intentionally chose several pictures where I was smiling and happy, representing the way a child should be.

At this point in my journey of healing, the anger and pain were beginning to subside, but I knew that the abuse had permanently colored my life forever.
