I investigate Post-Traumatic Growth by focusing on the dichotomous theme of growth and destruction. PTG is a theory of positive transformation that can be harnessed from life trauma. My visual vocabulary is informed by observations of the natural world, including human anatomy and vegetation. These images are integrated into my biomorphic sculptures, with focal points of meticulous detail, which are hybridized forms of botanical and anatomical elements, invoking transformative and transcendent growth.
