Abstract

Through a series of 9 artistic etchings, the author's feelings of her experience with immobility due to trauma naturally fell into 3 groups of 3. These groupings represent the natural organization of human experience and all stories-the beginning, the middle, and the end. Here, the author and artist shares an account of her healing journey that revealed itself through artistic expression.
