Artist’s Statement

This piece is an ekphrastic response to "I'm So Sick" by Flyleaf, specifically the lyrics: "You sink into my clothes, this invasion makes me feel worthless, hopeless, sick." The work explores the suffocating aftermath of sexual assault and how trauma seeps into the fabric of one's identity, much like the metaphor of clothing in the song. I wanted to capture the heaviness of that experience, how it can make you feel trapped in your own skin. The song’s raw emotion connected with me and allowed me to channel feelings that are hard to put into words. This piece is my way of processing those emotions and shedding light on an experience that’s painful but important to talk about.
