Stuck
Lost in time and space, aware that you are lost, but unable to find anchors to hold onto.
In February 2010 I visited my family in San Diego. My grandmother had just been moved out there from New Jersey, from the house where she had spent over 60 years.
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
And what happened to my teeth. Do you know?
A video consisting solely of the moments in a visit when she repeats these questions.

Trauma Processing



Many traumas are characterized by loss of control, where the survivor is subjected to something they cannot stop or change.
Sometimes ritual acts that one controls from beginning to end, such as dropping a ripe papaya from a rooftop and then cleaning up the wreckage, can promote increased well-being.
Palmer fishman industries can facilitate your papaya-dropping experience

Countless aspects of identity are stigmatized, from ethnicity to sexual orientation to hairstyles (mohawks, mullets). Don’t tolerate stigma a moment longer!
