My thesis was inspired by my own personal experience with EMDR therapy. EMDR is a method of psychotherapy that has been shown to improve the symptoms of severe agoraphobia and generalized anxiety disorder. By focusing on a specific traumatic memory and using bilateral stimulation, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) allows one to recognize the sensations and emotions that arise in order to reprocess the trauma. Then, to replace the traumatic and bad impacts, positive belief and healing are implanted into the memory. 

This collection will serve as a visual depiction of my own growth and recovery. Using the visuals and symbols that come up during EMDR, the idea of memories intertwined, the healing light coursing through one's body, and hues and flashes of faded memories filling one's mind are all expressed in this collection's pieces.
