Broken Melody - Self Portrait by Jaeda DeWalt

Broken Melody - Self Portrait by



Broken Melody is a self-portrait.


BROKEN MELODY

No boundaries . . .
I am a sad, broken, melody
stuck in repeat mode

the only word
that can stop the melody is . . .
“NO”

but i can not bring myself
to form the word
with my mouth

i can not bring myself
to say the word aloud
no, NO, NO!!!!!

About Jaeda DeWalt

internal landscapes, wherein, i explore; survivor issues, spirituality and sexuality. Much of my work is comprised of self-portraits. My intent with my creations is to be one of the connecting threads in the universal fabric we share.

    This is a great piece, really like your color choices too on this one, I also like the fact that throughout most of you works you appear very mannequin-esque, great job here

    xo

  • Thank you, so much, Heather! You reminded me i need to post a narrative for this. It speaks to my challenge to stand up for myself and enforce personal boundaries so i don’t become easy prey, so i can be a survivor and not a victim. XOXO
