My Thesis-Subconscious Anatomy

These images question the relationship between reality and illusion. In short, we believe what we want to believe and what makes us comfortable is often a form of self-deception.

My work is comprised of objects that create abstract shapes in the form of self-expression, leading the viewer to appreciate the visual representation of each specific body part.

Using Surrealist methods, I made connections from the unconscious that are seemingly random but create a new image. My objective is to capture the beauty of specific body parts in unexpected ways.

Paranoid Schizophrenia

For this piece I wanted to create something that would take you into the mind of a person with this disorder. I believe the narrator sets you into a reality vs. dreamlike state not knowing which is happening that the specific time. No one can truly understand how something like this takes over your life unless you have this disorder. No one can make you understand how a person with this disorder feels during a session of paranoia. I felt extremely connected to this assignment and would like to continue and try to make it a series.
