Stimulated is a wall object that can be hung with nails.
"For this piece, I started with a phallic shape from which I created a weapon-like form as a visual representation of the internalized pain of childhood loss due to abuse. I tend to cover toys with plaster to illustrate the act of hiding in a domestic place. I used red for this piece's surface to reflect violence, anger and aggression."

My work challenges these notions to uncover the authentic experience of women, provide them with a voice so often silenced, share their stories with audiences internationally and most importantly, empower women around the world.
