I love your collages! In college, our son took up collage when he suffered a broken heart. Most of the images he chose were bright, happy, upbeat. Some fantastical (cloud walking).
This:
Terrible things done to people, and that people do. One of the reasons I make collages is to forget about all that. Otherwise, it can make me quite sad.
No wonder I love your work so much - visual and written. :)
Every day I must combat the tendency to feel sad for all the injustice and misfortune...
"Survivor's Guilt" keeps me from totally rejoicing over my own blessings.
(Yes, I'm working on that!!! Just, it's slow going.... others are hurting, and all too often, loved ones resist efforts to "help" - so we stand back and stop trying)....

I think the ability to look away is a survival mechanism. Sometimes it's hard (impossible), but we have to get through each day :)
So, I'm planning a collage about nature right now🐝
