“Women at the Center” by Dorit Netzer
This work is about: In 1995-1996 I was an art therapy intern and researcher at a women’s center, where I dedicated my time to facilitating self-reflective creative expression with groups of women, who struggled with challenging life transitions. This collection of portraits, taken from my journal, is brought together 20 years later to acknowledge the courage it takes to be authentic, as windows into intimate moments of vulnerable selves, unmasked.
