What He Left Behind by Virginia Kluiters

There is a horrific beauty to my images—deep reds and purples transform my settings into twisted, violent Valentines where reality is warped.
What He Left Behind | Virginia Kluiters

There is a horrific beauty to my images—deep reds and purples transform my settings into twisted, violent Valentines where reality is warped.

Through my series, I illustrate the lingering pain that results from instances of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse in romantic partnerships. I use my own body as a tool in my art making process by engaging in ritualistic practices that express the physicality of the abuse I have endured.By pushing myself physically and emotionally, I am forced to face my past traumas, and in the process, I reclaim my own bodily autonomy.
