This work is constructed from materials that carry the residue of time, money, and survival.
They reflect the often-unseen cost of misdiagnosis and over-medication among survivors of childhood trauma and complex PTSD. The melted plastic and fractured mechanisms speak to systems that attempt to manage pain without fully understanding its origin.
What remains is both loss and transformation: time distorted, resources consumed—yet through heat and reconstruction, objects once tied to depletion are reshaped into something intentional and enduring, an act of reclamation forged from the aftermath.
