PLAYGROUND began as a therapeutic way of expressing my anger and outrage at my parents. I decided to channel my anger into words and conform them into higher meaning and value. I find it interesting how our parents shape our behavior and sexuality, the roles we develop into as children. There is a lingering emptiness -a constant cocoon of anxiety I live inside as a result of a traumatic childhood, the ramifications of terror and verbal abuse.
