Hide

LibArt 2024

Hide is about not wanting to be perceived sometimes. At times, I tend to be overwhelmed with the urge to hide in order to recover, recollect myself, and just take a breather. The character hiding in this collage is Garen, from my graphic novel, Garen’s Diary. Garen’s Diary is a journey on overcoming trauma, reestablishing trust, and learning self-compassion. Garen’s Diary is intended to allow the viewer to experience enough solidarity, compassion, and empathy to find humor in trauma as a means to heal. The collage element of this piece represents my thought patterns which are multifaceted, sporadic, and all happening at once in an instant.
