“Bloom" 2021.
A mixed-media artist who employs performance art to investigate trauma recovery through nature. My second year creative process is driven by my mother's love of gardening and focuses on parenting, trauma, emotion, and childhood. Through the concept of communicating emotions, I became interested in the flower and growth as a subject matter. As a response, I created a performance piece in which I pulled, chewed, and rubbed flowers to represent internalised anguish. I am concentrating on how I am physically displaying my internalised emotion, establishing a barrier between myself and the observer. It also permits the performer to express these emotions without being identified. The usage of flowers to express hidden feelings and de-stress is included into performance art.
