The thoughts behind the painting:
I feared to say something, because I was threatened to be killed. Afraid that someone will kill me, I really thought about taking my life multiple times. I could not understand why these threats were present in my entire life, until I found out that I was sexually abused and these people threatened to kill me if I would tell anyone what they did, if I would tell the truth about them. 
That fear of death overwhelmed me so often in my life, causing panic attacks that make me go to hospital. After a while, I was branded as “psychologically ill”. There were many triggers, which could be a certain smell, a noise, a scene of my life, a lunch with the family – every connected to the abuse. Today I am able to talk about it, because I am no longer afraid to be killed. Some of my predators have already died, but that is not the reason. The most important thing is that I overcame the fear and that I know that I am able to defend myself – and that´s what I radiate. So tell the truth when you know it!
