Trauma is a long-lasting psychological response to an upsetting or disturbing experience. Anyone can get trauma. This piece shows a brain with an assortment of flowers. Each flower is from a separate digital image. Flowers often carry symbolic meaning. Some possess positive meanings such as love, grace, innocence and strength, and others negative ones like distrust, folly, egotism and even death. Trauma is hard to manage, and our minds need constant nurturing just like flowers need constant watering and care to stay healthy.
