PART ONE: The Art
An illustrated trilogy of a solitary scene through different eyes; eyes of fear & despair, eyes of numbness and resignation . . . eyes of serenity and acceptance.
A meticulous - yet cathartic - experience of painting, laser cutting, layering and stacking.
PART TWO: The Story
An honest and reflective exploration of self, with a mission to define and make peace with flaws, fears and trauma.
A 40-page short story and a vessel for healing.
The Well; Sequestered Cycles
This project is a visualisation of what happens to a neurodivergent mind when mental hangups and habits run rampant. In the process of its creation, I have driven myself to define my mental struggles so that I may begin to understand them, recontextualising them through narrative illustration.
This experience is realised through the concept of “The Well”, and this project is the visual exploration of my relationship to it … the fear of falling into it, the apathy of becoming lost to it, and the relief of climbing out of it; a cycle of anxiety, numbness, and peace.
“The Well” is not a separate, sinister entity, but a part of me that I must learn to reconcile with – it’s only in doing so that can begin to heal.
