This is a trailer of the art video installation.  For inquiries on bringing the full installation of Caressed, #whatsyourelephant discussions or similar programs to your gallery or organization: contact us.

Caressed is a self-portrait, mixed-media video installation combining performance art and a poem I wrote about a traumatic childhood memory.  This intimate piece is the second installation in my elephant series and is connected the project ‘What’s Your Elephant’ – Creative Conversations about the Unknown.

The intention behind this work is to not only share a personal elephant but to have discussions surrounding unspoken topics such as abuse, survivors of abuse, awareness, the power of a ‘share’ and how the arts can be used to heal, to empower and to educate.

“It’s about acknowledging the elephant and owning it, so that it doesn’t define you.”  – Niki Lopez

My intention for #whatsyourelephant is to create a safe space where can share & bring awareness.  If sharing my elephants empowers even one person to consider their choices & its impact, speak up when they see an injustice or be a voice for the many who are still living in fear & denial- my job is done.
