"The Anatomy of a Calamity"

This installation, consisting of five separate pieces, follows the course of a catastrophic event as it manifests itself in the life of a survivor. Each of the five pieces depicts a stage of the process.

From Left:
"Complacency" ~ "Calamity" ~ "Reaction" ~ "Recovery" ~ "Serenity"

Premise:
Most catastrophic events, whether they be severe illness, accident, natural disaster, personal assault, or other traumatic event all follow a similar path as the survivor passes through life from before the incident, through the catastrophe, recovery, and a final re-definition of self.
