Fam Constellation - Me Kali

My art piece is a familiar constellation of the relationships that kept me going before and after Covid, most of whom were far from being love. The main theme of my art piece is how toxicity feeds toxicity, how it is all a circle, how i became a vengeful Demon, similar to Kali, by not acknowledging my humanity. As other character in the piece, I couldnt recognize my need for deep connections, and as I felt betrayed by the only one I made in three years on the island, my rage was blind. Eventually i was able to stop and heal instead of harming others. I was able to do so thanks to deep connections I had abroad (for example the only character that looks at me, he is my moon in my familiar constellation and its been an important "safe space" as he could see me for who i am, he made me felt valid, beyond appearances... this is what love is). The toxicity of the environment on the island of Antigua is rooted in its history and it is everywhere, most of the characters in my familiar constellation tried to manipulate and abuse me as a coping mechanism, I kept track of myself because i've been given the tools to read my needs and feelings. This doesnt make me a better person than the other one in the piece, this makes me able to facilitate them in their personal realization path, which is nothing but developing the tools to read their needs&feelings and being able to communicate them properly . Everyone has to thrive in order for the system itself to thrive, every display of hate is only an unexpressed need to feel valid. Seeking validation in coping mechanism such as substance abuse, religion, by bending reality or abusing others will only keep the toxic cycle going. Everyone deserves consistent love in facts, empty statements are not enough.
