Shellshock was created in honour of the victims of a train bombing,
March 11th 2004 in Madrid;
and for the countless other souls loved and lost through wars, disasters & untimely death.
Juxtaposing individual and global grief, Shellshock explores inner turmoil and trauma in the path towards personal redemption & healing.
Consider the phrase “walking on eggshells” as it pertains to:
our bodies; sexuality;
inter-personal relationships;
a mine field; a mass grave;
a street after a massacre . . . |
