‘The Support Struggles you find in Life’. (95 x 85cm. Mixed media on paper).
I made this piece because I am struggling to have the freedom of my life and having to fight to get the freedom I want. As a care leaver it is hard to find the right placement to live, we either get put in not very good housing and struggle to get a new placement and better support network. I have to write a timetable for my daily activities every week to give to staff which is not good for my independence and privacy. This artwork expresses my frustration with the care system.
