Post Traumatic Growth

Right before the lockdown, Denisse went through some difficult life challenges. During the pandemic, stuck at home and very bored, Denisse began to realise how her mental health was being affected. Surprisingly, and seemingly out of no-where, she spent a hectic week during the lockdown creating 7 collages at the same time. Later she realised that this artistic outburst was a burst of post-traumatic growth. She began a healing journey that has transformed her way of viewing the world and shifted her emotional state from that of reacting to responding. Art was a major part of this healing. She is now showing her collages at Testing Grounds and offering a workshop on collage, as well as a public talk about healing with art-collage.
