Separation Anxiety

My childhood memories of being left alone were the inspiration for this project. Even though I am now an adult, the experience of being left alone as a young child still evokes many memories for me.

When I was a child, I spent most of my time at my grandparents' house. My mother was very busy at work and did not have enough time to take care of me, so as far as I can remember, my mother always left me at my grandparents' house and then left. The painful memories of this separation have been haunting me.

In this project, I expressed my experience of separation anxiety through drawing and painting and produced a book. In painting, I became aware of my emotional experience.
