“There are parts of me that are dying, but death must occur for new life to spring forth. These dying parts are the unseen places the enemy has been hiding, slowly destroying me, lying to me, and stealing me away. These deep crevices were once created to protect my heart, yet they are no longer needed and are instead being used against me. Death must occur, yet death is still death.” -- Kelsey Paulsen“Into the Wilderness” is an ongoing spiritual art journal through the creation of devotional images. I am a lifelong type 1 Juvenile Diabetic that also suffers from Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Fibromyalgia, anxiety, and family trauma. In response, my images are an exploration of the motions of coping, specifically in figuring out how to have a body and unpacking both the memory and sickness that dwells inside it. In these moments, I reflect upon my own mortality on this solitary road and the dark places that live within so that I can be reformed as a better version of myself.
