Exposed

Exposed”

Feeling exposed versus feeling seen. What is the difference between these two seemingly polarized experiences? I’ve been doing a deep dive in feeling exposed which proved difficult because my whole being tries to distract and run away from that tortured state - the ruminating, the embarrassment, the otherness. What the drawing helped me to understand is that when I can make the space around the feeling, allow the fullness of suffering and listen to the learned stories of who I am, feeling exposed fades and I can allow myself to be seen more and more.

I love the process of drawing. The internal exploration and the technical practice keeps me hooked.
