This is called a tunnel book.
- The dark background is a lightening storm much like our dark and angry selves.
- It reflects the birth of hate, some can possess as it poison our spirit and soul.
- Our speech can cause those around us to feel much like a dunce and to become fearful.
- Desperation can be a killer from both aspects the victim or the abuser.
- It can hurt and damage children, when they are in an environment of anger and hatred.
- Children don’t know how to process what is going on around them they can feel as though their heads will explode from the pressure of fear and feel maybe its their fault.
- It becomes cyclical the abused grows up and in some cases become the abuser.
- They pretend, they don’t see, hear, and speak what they feel.
- They become isolated in some cases and just don’t know how to react in the world around them or they react in destructive ways.
- They become the silent victim.
As I created this book I put great thought in trying to represent each aspect of fear caused in these types of situations. My intent is to help open the eyes and hearts of many with this visual expression of art.
