A Journey Towards Self is a six-piece body of work exploring healing and self-actualisation.
A Journey Towards Self is a six-piece body of work exploring healing and self-actualisation.
Through her healing journey, AKG has learned that she (we) carries a lot of "unknown" childhood traumas. We cover it up as “character development” and make jokes about it to “cope”, but the reality is.... IT IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY WAS.... verbal, mental, or even physical abuse.
When we think of “healing”, we think it needs to be “aesthetically” pleasing. But the reality is we have to pull back layers and layers of our wounded/programmed selves so we can get to the part of us that was “untouched” by life and experience true bliss. Back to self.
