(OS) Splinter-6"x 8"

This piece was done with acrylic marker and lil bit of gel pen on Bristol. Another one of my more personal pieces that probably only a select few will resonate with. Growing up under a certain umbrella of indoctrinations I find myself picking "splinters" out from the cross/crosses that were bashed into my soul on regular basis. I'm obtaining a sense of my self worth, self love, confidence, and giving myself more and more permission to exist on a daily basis. However, this piece just kind was my self reflection of what it feels like sometimes. The healing around it and over it, but it's never gone. Much like PTSD and any other trauma. 

I heal with it always a part my history. Wherever we land on the spectrums of beliefs, it's a journey. I've had mine and landed where I feel is right for me. If this piece resonates for you too, feel free to take this one home and know you're not alone!

Also may or may not be the only one I keep in existence. There are currently zero prints of this.
