Embrace your Fears [2021]

Embrace your fear, is a triptych about embracing fear. In 2021 I start creating expressive portraits about the fears in my life. Anxiety has played a defining role in my life from an early age.
It has protected me from intense pain that I couldn’t bear at that time. (Frozen).
Anxiety helped me to go out into the world. (coping)
Anxiety helped me lay low in an environment where this was the safest option. (Worthlessness)

In this series of portraits I depict the role of these fears in my life. It is healing to give space to the drastic role of this emotional state in this way.
