A Narcissistic Garden
These are the final products from my senior capstone project. I ended up with a series of eight posters and a hand-bound field guide that I hand printed. My thesis stated: "Narcissistic abuse and trauma should be further studied so that awareness of the problem can grow. So many people today miss the signs of narcissistic abuse and narcissistic trauma is something that victims tend to feel uncomfortable about. I have used the Victorian language of flowers for a good bit of my work over the years because it is able to convey so many things by itself. I think that using the language of flowers will help express the emotions that are so difficult to express out loud and understand, through the underlying meanings that have been said through flowers for hundreds of years."
