Brother

This bowl represents an exploration of my relationship with my older brother through exploratory art research in Studio Techniques and Materials of Art Therapy. From childhood to adulthood, our relationship has changed greatly, heavily influenced by his development of a psychotic disorder in his early 20s. I’m still exploring what our relationship can hold now, as I move in between caretaker, case manager, parent, and sometimes still sister. It’s not what I thought it would be or what it used to be able to hold, but there are new possibilities, and there is still beauty.
