Mementos : a reminder of the past
I never hear "mementos" before i join art therapy class.
Art therapy class?What is it?
Art therapy : study about art as therapy, not only an art. To help people solve conflict, and many more.
Then, about mementos, my lecture asked us to draw mementos. Mementos means a thing (or things), a memorable thing, and u keep it for years, and it must be precious. And i drew bolster, i drew fish bolsters. Those were from my mom, long years ago, i remember, she bought it in exhibition. When i was 5 years, and the bolsters are still here.
Why draw mementos? Just to reexperince that feeling, when we got that mementos in the past.
For the first time, i doubt, will i feel?will i?
then, when i drew, well, exactly i felt the feeling, felt the love from my mom, remembered my past feeling.
And, mementos sometimes remind me to past, not a good one, reverse one, bad one.
One time, i tried to draw mementos again, i drew a flower, a cloth flower, it came from a man from past, that hurt me much. So that hurt.
I never imagined that i would cry when i drew. And it happened.
I was crying. I was angry. And u must know, my mementos looks so dark and bloody. Unconscious mind, right..When i showed this to my friend, she said "luka banget, ya?" haha, i never meant to, but this happened.
But after i drew this mementos, i relieve my feeling, it feel easier to forgive, it reduce a hurt feeling, for sure.
Would i throw this mementos?This flower, nope.. It will remind me about something beyond there, the things that can't be forced, even if it love or friendship.
