Echoes of Survival is an ongoing visual art series that transforms the silent, buried, and unspoken experiences of abuse survivors into powerful creative expression. Through abstract digital artworks and layered collages, this series captures the emotional landscapes that survivors walk through — grief, fragmentation, rage, healing, and the reclaiming of voice.

Each piece is a reflection of personal and collective memory. Some are shaped by my own journey. Others will emerge from the echoes of our community.

This series exists to:

• Raise awareness about the internal and external realities of abuse

• Create a visual language for survivorhood

• Build a space of resonance and belonging for those who feel unseen

• Empower survivors to turn pain into expression, and silence into sound

Echoes of Survival is more than art. It’s a testimony. A revolt. A love letter to those still surviving.

Reminders (2025)

There are certain memories that don’t ask permission to return.
They don’t wait for a quiet moment or check if you’ve healed.
They interrupt. They spill over. They glitch.

Reminders, the third collage in my Voices For Us x The Canvas & The Cause series, was born from one of those moments. Moments where healing doesn’t feel linear, where time folds in on itself, and where art becomes the only language that can hold what the body remembers. This piece is inspired by the haunting softness of Mariah the Scientist’s song Reminders, a track that doesn’t just grieve; it lingers. Her lyrics become echoes, and those echoes found their way into my hands.

This piece was created on Canva Pro and edited in PicsArt Pro, using layering, digital brushwork, glitch effects, and color bleeding to form a visual diary of what flashbacks feel like. For me, this isn’t about aesthetics, but it’s about survival. Reminders is a confrontation, a mirror, and a visual rhythm of the voices I tried to silence and the memories that still found their way in.
