degree piece
My degree piece presents a corset. I have sewn it from the sheet on which I lay during my convalescence for a few months. The corset speaks of closure. I define this term on the basis of my own experience and the experience of persons suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Psyche is everyday reality permeated with tormenting and constantly recurring flashbacks to traumatic moments and the constant escape from the trauma from which affected persons cannot detach themselves. However, it is possible to change being immobilised within one narrow sphere of time and to build the balance between the past, present and the future.
