Am I Okay?

Am I ok? is a three-part exploration of awakening, self-reflection, and renewal by Cleveland artist Michelle Trogdon. Through leather-based fine art and mixed-media, Trogdon transforms personal experience into acts of liberation. Featuring Lotería-inspired imagery, pop and graphic art, wearable pieces, and designs inspired by nature, the exhibition traces a movement from fracture to wholeness. Each chapter explores confronting illusion, self-reflection, and embracing freedom and new possibility. The title is not a question seeking an answer, but a declaration of becoming; an unfolding process of breaking, rebuilding, and ultimately blooming.
