About the Work
As children, we often lack the language to articulate pain, confusion, fear, or emotional complexity. Those feelings do not disappear; they wait quietly beneath the surface, asking to be witnessed by the adults we eventually become. The "wild things" in this work are those hidden inner selves—the unruly emotions, instincts, memories, and vulnerabilities we spend years trying to outrun.
But healing changes the relationship.
What once felt frightening or overwhelming begins to soften under attention and compassion. The wilderness within becomes less of a threat and more of a landscape to move through with curiosity. Where the Wild Things Are reflects that shift: the moment fear gives way to reconciliation.
There is playfulness in this piece, but also acceptance. A sense that the wild things no longer need to be hidden away.
Now, we dance together.
Where the Wild Things Are is part of The Hiding Place series, which explores the inner sanctuaries we create to survive life's storms—hidden spaces where the self can rest, reflect, and remain intact. Through layered texture, color, and abstraction, these works become quiet shelters. Places to exhale.
