I believe artists have some kind of trauma at the beginning of their lives, and they learn to survive that trauma through their art. For me, the trauma was my father's illness. It marked me completely in every way. How people looked at me. How i looked at the world. I couldn't believe how unfair it was. It made me feel unlucky. Or cursed. That somehow everyone else had normal lives and ours was marked by sadness, fear and a deep feeling of uncertainty.
