Point of Entry is a series of oil paintings that depicts powerful images of people and their scars or other sites of somatic healing. Each scar is painted on a fragment of broken mirror with a carved line defining the incision of the scar, allowing the viewer to see themselves reflected within.
Point of Entry seeks to amplify narratives from marginalized communities that disproportionately experience mental illness, but whose stories are vastly underrepresented in our conversations about mental health. In light of this mission, the project is collaborating with Women Against Abuse, Philadelphia’s leading domestic violence advocate and service provider and among the largest domestic violence agencies in the country.
This project aims to raise awareness of resources, highlight survivors’ stories beyond victimization and shine a light on how people heal.
I am raising funds independently. Please consider donating any amount towards this project - every little bit will help! Even just $10 would make all the difference.
Thank you so much, and if you cannot donate at this time, please consider sharing it on Instagram and Facebook!’
