CRAZY BLISS

Crazy Bliss is a digital installation about adoption, trauma, and self-concept, exploring how the past informs the present through photography, text, and digital collage.

Crazy Bliss is returning to my body, my being, and honoring the person who exists inside that vessel. I started to recognize myself in childhood photographs, I could finally see my parents' faces in mine. Crazy Bliss is living without guilt. I exonerate myself of my parent’s actions, and the voids they created. I choose love and joy and I release all the negativity inside myself. I am bigger than all that I have experienced. Crazy Bliss is feeling worthy of my suffering. I surrender to simply living. I rise above the painful currents within myself, and commit to trying to live a life full of love, and truth. It is very difficult and I often question everything, and want to give up. But I want to live, really live, so I try and try again. There is always goodness and light to be had, I just have to let myself be able to see and feel it.

Crazy Bliss is stepping into myself, and standing tall. Crazy Bliss is a radiant state of being. Crazy Bliss is taking love into the spaces. Crazy Bliss is embracing change. Crazy Bliss is sacred tenderness. Crazy Bliss is all the moments of joy found when I started living for myself.
