I have found the art of making mosaic is a shelter to express my emotions and feelings when I have been through tough times in my life.
One of them is my mental illness which sometimes prevents me from expressing my emotions or speaking altogether.
Make mosaic art helps me to be patient with myself even when the modern world seems to be out of pace. Focusing on art has been helping me to discover my unique skills, and build my confidence, thus making me stronger.
I am grateful to all the staff team from the Romero Centre who have supported me through my recovery journey.
They gave me the courage to transform this arid desert from my illness into a resource of abilities and skills. I like art because it is a spectacular encounter with my inner child. It helps me to become more self-confident in my creativity.
When I practice art, my inner child feels sweet and cheerful, she can capture her feelings without being stigmatised.
I will keep continuing preserving doing the work n myself from inside out, to create a better future for myself and participating within the community.
