Some artwork *possible trigger*

Over the last few months I have been creating collages in Photoshop with stock photos (photos that are in the public domain) that I find on the internet. Some of the photos may have dubious origin, meaning that I am not entirely sure if they are public domain or not, but this is the nature of the internet. I hope it's alright that I post them here, but I am not ever planning to publish them or make money from them so I would think that copyright would not be much of an issue.
Here is the first gallery. The website may be a little slow. They're in order from oldest to newest, and to the side you can see the details of what I used, etc, to make the collage. None of them contain graphic imagery but it may be implied so I will warn that these collages MAY BE A TRIGGER.

I will offer explanations for the collages because there are none on the page.
"Consume Me" is about my mother and how she abused me.
"Prey" is about my experience in prison.
"Junk" is about my experience with drugs (specifically heroin.)
"Salvation" does NOT have an anti-Christian message so please do not take it as such. It is another collage about my experience in prison and specifically how people would come in and try to get us to accept religion and they would act as if somehow everything would be OK if we just read the Bible. (I believed them and I tried it but I was still in hell.)
Here is another page which houses a two-part collage called Dee and the Movement of Sorrow. (Possible *trigger* especially to those whose abuse involved religion.)

It is not about me but it is about my partner Dave and his experiences in Catholic school. Again, not an anti-Christian message. It is more about his disenchantment with the religion, the harshness that the school taught him, and his loss of individuality. Here is an explanation I had typed up for a friend.
EDIT: By the way, in the Dee collage, the little boy by the statue was not originally there but I put him in from another picture. I am rather proud of the job I did in matching the shading and light source so they really look like they belong in the same picture.

I always manage to write entirely too much in my posts. Sorry.
