Our team decided to explore the relationship between our childhoods and our present selves, examining how past experiences manifest in our current lives. This led us to pose a critical question: How do we heal from these experiences as adults?
We began by sharing memories, creating a written archive of childhood experiences.
From there, we chose to explore healing through making—expressing and sharing our experiences with others. We created a mixed media installation incorporating textiles, sound, and video projection, building a space that embodies softness. This space expresses the tensions we experienced in childhood, the comfort we sought, and the hopeful peace for our future selves.
