"Patchwork Heart" is the visual story of a survivor of childhood trauma and abuse, who has overcome tremendous adversity, through healing and community. It is the story of the artist, MAYA Garcia, and her personal transition from surviving abuse to thriving, regaining her sense of identity in the process. Like the chrysalis that turns into a butterfly, despite seemingly insurmountable odds, MAYA persisted, sewingtogether her own wings,'like pieces of a patchwork quilt (or heart, in this case) back together, creating something beautiful out of chaos and disjointed memories
