ASCENT
The idea for this project comes from my own experience and the many conversations I have had with friends over the years. Trying to understand that trauma does not simply belong to the past. It can continue to shape how we perceive ourselves, how we remember our experiences, and how we construct our identity. Sometimes the memory is vivid; at other times, it becomes fragmented, uncertain, or difficult to access.
Revisiting the past, not to remain within the pain, but to recognize the person who emerged from it.
The world was there
and somehow I was not
Sometimes a little glimpse of hope
is hidden within those moving branches
And what appeared to be broken is just a feeling
Of what I feel now, of how I felt then
A day, a week, or a year
The color has changed
