Focused Trauma by Mika “Haji” Dalbec
Acrylic paint
Meet the artist: Mika “Haji” Dalbec
Inspiration:
It's either your brain opening up to accepting dark thoughts or the invasion of light within your darkness. Either way, it's about that feeling inside which you can't escape . . . but wonder if it's only you that feels this way.
What role does art play in your life?
Writing as an art form has a tremendous impact on my daily life. Art as a visual pushes out the trauma for which I can't find the words to write.
Artist statement:
Blank faces. Blank bodies. The restart that represents a blank canvas. All together, I want my work to show the meaning of dark forces that follow . . . the unseen child. The foster kid. @APoetNamedHaji
