I really struggled with the emotional content of this class. After finishing, I hated my work and couldn't even look at it. Months later, I came back to it and worked with mixed media (collage, ink, botanicals) to transform the original piece into part of something larger.

 

For a class like this, it might help some people to start with a content warning, and maybe to provide links to resources for coping with body trauma, dysphoria, and shame.
