Self-Compassion Exploration by Shea Andrews

I decided to allow myself to explore the topic of, “self-compassion” which is a topic I explore with clients in eating disorder care. I chose oil pastels to explore with, as this is a material I am not familiar with. Self-compassion and self-care are things I have been ignoring in my own life. This piece represents the energy I no longer provide to myself; breaking out from its containment. I am exploring, playing, and experiencing joy in this piece. Self-love is achievable and it is within reach.
