The Meet of the Hurt is one of the first projects that was born after I took a course “The art therapy of trauma”. During 12 weeks I learned the art techniques used in working with different mental health issues, such as depression, self-harm, suicidal behaviour and addictions. We wrote our “trauma poems.”
It was an incredible experience of dealing with individual perception of pain. It is a sort of a mosaic of encounters, collection of physical and emotional feelings from which in the end we put together a drawing, the “collective subconscious of trauma.” I collected our “poems,” analyses them and asked myself: “Is it possible to set yourself free from the webs of the wounds, see each other, fall in love? What if they meet each other, the woman with the lump in the throat and a frozen heart and the man with the chest squeezed in a vise”
