I Seriously Exist.

Ignored. Overlooked. Forgotten. Invisible.

Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognise, and harder to reconcile. It is often silent and hidden from the outside world by its perpetrator. There are no visible scars to show tangible proof of an individual’s pain. Instead those who suffer are often left to feel they must fight their demons below.

For many years I carried the solitary pain of childhood emotional abuse, bearing the burden of it alone. However over time I found the outlet of my artistic practice gave me a way to express my mental health journey. Through my art I have been able to give myself a voice, and express my true self. I am no longer the invisible child that was ignored, now I Seriously Exist.
