Lorie LaPorta, Vaginal Healing

Vaginal Healing comes from the work I have done, more so, over the course of the past 2 years. It has taken many years to overcome and accept that I am a survivor of sexual abuse. For two years, I have worked deeply to understand how it has affected my life. The black center represents a hole I saw in myself. The colors of purple represent love. Please note the vague colors of purple inside the black space. The blues are an indication of how much healing I have done over the past year, and reds and oranges express anger and fear. The mixed lines represent how abuse has affected, intertwined and crossed over many parts of my life.
