How and if do our past relationships reflect our futures? Tackling toxic, unhealthy, or abusive relationships within our lives, but also the good ones, the outliers that make you feel loved and wanted and the contrast between the two types, this including the relationship a person has with themselves. Within my art you can see depictions of myself, my partner, depictions of intimacy and also violence. I believe violence can have a sick intimacy within it, not the loving kind but a cruel and controlling. The thin line of violent intimacy nurturing, caring intimacy is what I want to focus on.
