Echoes from the Past seeks to break down the stigma surrounding traumatic response with an inclusive approach, not only validating seemingly “trivial” experiences but also giving people the tools to move on with their lives, integrating their painful experiences into a more fulfilling life narrative.

But, You Never Left explores the concept of “identity”: why it’s malleable, why we lose it, what happens when we do and how to build a new one.

It rises and falls based on the level of perceived danger. It acts as a protective mechanism in this way.
