HMS No. 9 Zombie Girl.jpg

After firing this piece the 1^st time I realized a lot more was going on in my head than I had been aware of. My internal landscape erupted after I did some research on old school zombification poisoning practices (think of today’s  date rape drug, tho far more potent/destructive). I found astounding similarities with certain trauma states in today's world...including my own.  

 For the refire, I brightened her up a bit with some glitter and flower beads. Every little bit of further extrication from the past and losing even one more tether is a blessing.

Most survivors do not have access to state-of-the-art bioneural treatments (which are highly effective and fairly rapid). Most are stuck with "talk therapy" (CBT, REBT etc.) or may get lucky with some EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Even more never get any therapy at all, ever, and are caught in the brain-hardened loops of trauma world, basically just treading water or getting worse over time. Zombie Girl illustrates some of that static state that endures and reemerges throughout life. 

The coloration is partially yukky, and the metaphorical worm (left of the mouth) of the rotting Soul is a detail not to overlook. And yet, the Turquoise Matte & Glo Worm green  convey a bit of sunshine hitting the surface of the Self.
