In I Thought I Saw It in the Earth and in the Open Sky, I use digital photography, video, and sound to examine the nuances of existing, remembering and healing after domestic and sexual trauma. Through these mediums, I explore how denying the viewer full access to myself and my body can be implemented as a tool to restore a sense of agency that was stripped away with repeated abuse.  

​

Additionally, I investigate the afterness of trauma as a site of liminality, and how myself along with other survivors who exist within this state of in-betweenness may still find it possible to transition away from the unbearable pain of remembering and into a place of healing. This place of healing does not dismiss the gravity of these traumas, nor does it pretend that these traumas will ever truly go away; instead, it seeks to understand how our experiences as victims can lead us to new ways of knowing, and thus new ways of hoping, dreaming, and living after sexual trauma.
