allay & gentle; / fall 2015      

a visual representation of the able/disable label; a project about the resistance of mental illness, the inescapable, extremely uncomfortable hold that anxiety & depression can have on one's body and mind; illustrating the constant struggle one faces trying to become independent from the relentless nature of anxiety, depression, paranoia & OCD, psychosis, manic bipolarity, through healing and medicinal care/lack thereof, brushing the edge of one's sanity; an abstract visualization of how i feel during a panic attack, or other form of overpowering torturous force inside of me, and the challenges i have faced to overcome the inhibiting nature of my diagnoses.
