watercolour and ink on paper
After the storm
Collaging together images from the news, or... a realisation of the long-term traumatic effect of the destruction of homes, hospitals and infrastructure. A clinical psychologist stated the recollection of the terrifying day haunts the staff at the hospital, even the sound of rain can cause trauma responses amongst the people who lived through it. Simple things can trigger them, one woman mentioned the sound of a trolley carrying bedding and other items reminded her of the day, she no longer wanted to hear that sound.
