These images from the Forgiveness Portfolio reflect the experience of a confining relationship and the rejection its traditional societal expectations. Throughout the process I documented reinventing myself engaging internal dialogue, journaling, and sketching which transitions into gaining perspective and strength. The work acts as a cathartic force moving forward and beyond the confines of traditional gender roles. Engaging imagination with storytelling the healing process is re-presented in the images. The earliest images evolved simultaneously and introspectively though the experiences and then shifted to hindsight, recounting the past as a search for resolution and closure. 2001-2008 . . . and beyond.
