A body of work exploring sexual assault, trauma, and the lingering residue of violence. Through imagery rooted in vulnerability, silence, and aftermath, the work examines how trauma persists beyond the moment of harm, shaping identity and the body. It reflects the quiet presence of violence how it is carried internally, often unseen, long after the event has passed.
