An Exploration in to
Mental Health and Awareness
My Current Ambitions
Using both my own and my learned experiences, I am influencing my works to illustrate the symptoms and stories of mental health. I believe that art can work both as a therapy and as a powerful story teller. I use symbolism, figurative representation, and color exploration to portray the experiences of different mental health problems, and make them more identifiable, relatable, and normalized.
Series Three: A Journey With Self
This series centralized from an auto-biographical perspective, and investigated my own journey with mental health through symbolism. Birds have always had a prominent place in my artwork, and in this particular series they represent myself, my family, and my feelings. This series demonstrates my internal growth and my emotional transformation.
