Numb
In moments of extreme pain and distress, dissociation becomes a coping mechanism, allowing us to mute the essence of our soul as a means of survival. The woman’s gaze reflects this detachment—an outward expression of how we sometimes believe we can protect ourselves by withdrawing. Yet, through her eyes, we also glimpse the emptiness that comes with this disconnection, a void that mirrors the deep, unspoken pain embedded in the history of our soul. This image is a meditation on that pain—inviting us to recognize the parts of ourselves that have remained hidden or unacknowledged in moments of vulnerability. Only by confronting and embracing these forgotten pieces can we begin to release the weight of our suffering and heal.
