In the Artist’s Words:
Our reactions are often shaped by the traumas we’ve endured, and those reactions can point us towards our burning heart. This piece speaks about the fiery raging tunes that the trauma survivors often finds themselves playing. I often hear these tunes played by my close ones and helps me gaze at my own inner workings and if I am playing the same tune for others.
At times we are the ones, fueling the flames of turmoil caused by our trauma without knowing how it will impact the people connected to us. We play the raging tunes for the ones who are still healing, nurturing and watering their hearts. Healing is not easy, especially when our hearts are scarred by past trauma but can we begin to soothe the fire by cultivating more self awareness?
