Crisis
The exposure to traumatic events happening across the world is something that, because of mainstream and social media, is now a regular and real part of our everyday lives. Though we may not realise, this visual exposure can weigh heavy on our unconscious. Working through these feelings - whether in the making of or viewing of art - is a way of ‘redigesting’ traumatic content, and in doing so, bringing a healing to our mental health.
