What happens when photography becomes a way to process trauma and healing?In this episode of The Creative Thread, I sit down with self-portrait artist Anj Olson to talk about the deeply personal stories behind her work. We discuss how creativity can become a way of making sense of difficult experiences, the role symbolism plays in her images, and why vulnerability has become such an important part of her artistic voice.It's an honest conversation about storytelling, resilience, and creating work that reflects who we are and what we've lived through.If you've ever wondered how artists transform hard moments into meaningful work, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.
