Image Statement: This is the fourth side of the fabric sculpture. We are all the result of our parents' sexual experiences. As we develop sexually, our emotions and understanding of ourselves can be confusing. Cultural pressures can not only add to the confusion but also can also be traumatizing. Sometimes counselling is necessary, not to change us, but to help us overcome trauma and to understand who we are so that we can live comfortably in our own skin, as well as in community with our fellow humans.
