The Masks we Wear: Judas Priestess
Some works I want to make, other works I have to make. If I don’t make the works I have to make, I cannot make the works I want to make. It’s been a very long time since I made a self portrait, and this one was a had-to-make. It’s about old hurts, retraumatization in abuse, and my experience of complete depersonalization.

"Upon the altar, here I sit,
and meet your sharpened eyes,
awaiting the next Commandment
while something inside me dies.
These words,
a hollow requiem.
The ember burns aching,
low.
The mask I wear sears love from flesh,
till nothing true remains,
but the skinless shadow of a long-gone girl
and a face of pretty lies." - ~NM
