Opening up (Therapy Session)

this video shoot started off as increments capturing the message i wanted to portay which actually took a long time to put together due to artist block but in all I'm glad the overall message came out clear.

Growing up in a single parent household held a lot of difficulties, as well as being the only first-born son in a family of 6 women. I didn't realize until after college how me growing up without a father affected me. having multiple stepdads and other male figures come and go I had a hard time having someone to look up to which led me to feel inadequate as a man. from then grew anger as well as resentment. I couldn't receive any guidance from my biological father but despite its challenges I was able to have a few mentors that encourages my development as a man and artistic abilities currently I'm not as angry and resentful as i was towards my father despite us not yet coming to terms but my confidence through my struggle has empowered me as a man to always be the king i always known myself to be.

Around the time I created these pieces my art mentor encouraged me to on paint smaller canvases which at first were hard because my concept ideas where more large scale but during a bad time of dealing with family affairs, I remember being so angry I just got up and painted these figures of a boy that was a reflected of my emotions inside. to any male or female to known what it's like not having two parents in the household how did you deal with things? and what were you feeling? do you still feel that way? and have you ever come to terms with your biological parents?
