Heavy Heart: Recovery Blues
A broken heart serves as a catalyst for self-reflection by bringing past trauma and old wounds to the surface.
Heavy Heart: Recovery Blues offers an intimate view on the artist's journey of confronting
ego and shadow while navigating through loss and acceptance
April Arleine
April Arleine, an Austrian experimental photographer and artist, delves into the depths of the human psyche through her work. Self-taught and profoundly introspective, April integrates analog and digital photography with alternative processes such as cyanotype and chemigram. Her art represents an introspective journey, exploring the realms of shadow work — a psychological process of uncovering and assimilating repressed aspects of the self.
Arleine's latest series, "Heavy Heart: Recovery Blues," offers an intimate narrative of self-reflection and healing. Inspired by the turmoil of a broken heart, the artist confronts past traumas and wounds. Through her cyanotypes, she captures the essence of her emotional journey, from despair to the gradual emergence of self-confidence. By embracing the transformative power of art, these works emphasize the significance of confronting discomfort and keeping our hearts open. They advocate for making peace with the past and embarking on a journey of acceptance and self-love with gentleness and patience.
