Series Statement:
This series is a reinterpretation of the phrase ‘Fight, Flight or Freeze’, which is commonly used to describe instantaneous primal responses during an individual’s exposure to trauma.
But what takes place after that initial, adrenaline fuelled reaction? The layered and complex nature of being human in today’s global community, requires more than the ability to run, hide or fight. Escape or salvation and the journey towards healing is lengthy and complex, requiring endurance, acceptance and resilience.
Flight to Freedom extends and inverts these primal responses after the adrenaline is exhausted to map the journey towards healing. The flight is neither short nor linear, the winds are changeable, and the freedom is ultimately a state of mind.
