mind // body

Mind // body consists of a diptych depicting brain and body. The set of monotypes speak to the experience of dissociative disorders and the mental feel of dissociating. The images depict a lack of physical presence often felt while dissociating, while also emphasizing the heavy weight that is felt mentally.

These images were inspired by a drawing created during a dissociative episode I experienced. The image was created using automatic drawing techniques and was later realized to be about what I was experiencing at that moment.
