Restoring Synchrony

“Restoring Synchrony” is an exploration of what it means to return to wholeness. In this body of work,  Chris Meshel transforms the language of trauma into visual form, painting the stages of rupture and repair with bold color and layered technique.

The works emerge from both personal experience and the broader human condition: how the body carries memory, how the subconscious holds what words cannot, and how healing requires a reweaving of self. Drawing upon insights from “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel van der Kolk, Chris bridges scientific understanding with lived experience, translating the neurological imprints of trauma into gestures of paint, fabric, and texture.

“Restoring Synchrony” is not only the story of one journey, but also an invocation — a reminder that the act of becoming whole again is both personal and universal, an ongoing rhythm shared across bodies, histories, and time.
