The Body Keeps the Score explores generational trauma through the figures of an elder mother and a child. Their crowns symbolize inheritance: the mother’s gilded crown reflects sacrifice and survival, while the child’s colorless crown represents innocence and uncertainty. An inscription, cd45ra < cd45ro, references immune memory, linking unresolved trauma to chronic immune activation. A vibrant palette reflects struggle, survival, and transformation, pointing toward healing.
