Beyond Survival’s Entrance

ARTIST: April Pettitt
AGE WHEN I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED: 7-9
AGE WHEN I CREATED THIS PIECE: 35

Beyond Survival’s Entrance is a place that I dream about getting to when I go through the door of
Survival’s Entrance. It is a place where I don’t feel hurt, used, ashamed, or damaged. I feel beautiful,
carefree, loveable, and worthy.

I know that I will be on this side of the door one day.
