This very personal series began as a way of my processing all that I was learning and experiencing when I began conducting my Empty & Meaningless: the Box Project workshops in the prisons. A number of the works were my own processing of personal traumas from my formative years (from 5 to 21). Many of the pieces I have included are inspired by the stories and experiences of those people I was privileged to spend time with in those workshops. These incarcerated people allowed me to lead them in a conversations using visual and written art to explore their viewpoints - what those were, how they formed, how they could create them anew. It was a profoundly healing and cathartic time of my career.
