Against the backdrop of a world in crisis, Dr. Judy Schavrien, artist and psychotherapist, tells the story of her own "life interrupted." She was shot in the face; traveled from continent to continent, searching; and finally found healing. The people she portrays are survivors. They are permeable, translucent, even transparent to their troubled yet surprisingly beautiful worlds."Recently I became better equipped to grasp Schavrien's extraordinary portraits. I experienced my own prolonged "bardo passage" (the gap, as Tibetans say, between death and the next life). Schavrien's figures intimate for me a way forward from my own "betwixt and between" state, having been hospitalized on a ventilator for over 50 days, nearly dying twice from COVID...Since that shattering experience, perhaps like her compelling subjects, I too have found myself to be under perpetual reconstruction. Like them, I often feel diaphanous to 'reality,' wondering if I hadn't perhaps died last Spring so that I am now living my own version of the bardo state. In this liminal world I have come to inhabit, I welcome the sense of kinship that these traumatized yet quietly triumphant figures offer to me, a fellow survivor." Dr. Jacob Shefa, Research Psychologist.
