The Connection collection

“Safety is not the absence of threat.
It is the presence of connection.”
(Dr Gabor Maté)

Feeling safe is a big deal for me, because for the longest time I felt unsafe. In life, in my relationships, at work, in my body.
My answer was to retreat myself from others. Physically, but mostly emotionally. 
That affected my connections in a negative way, but I didn't realize how to change. As is often the case, the solution lies in bravery. The bravery of vulnerability changed me completely. The result: deeper connections,  and feeling safe.

Hence, the Connection collection, a small collection of paintings that tell my story, from unsafe to connected.
