Escape

This project is about escaping reality and the healing of trauma. Dreaming is our mind's way of escaping, but there are more intense ways the brain escapes as a response to trauma. The most common responses are fight, flight or freeze. Freezing is where the brain shuts down and creates an outer body experience. The branches represent fragility, strength and reflection as well as visually looking like the human body's nervous system with the repeating patterns and complex structure.
