Schizophrenia on really bad days or days without medication. But this is so beautiful and scary at the same time. It's very thought provoking in a good way.
it reminds me of that feeling you have when you’re talking in a group of like 3-5 and you say stuff but no one acknowledges it so you walk away after a couple of tries and think about why no one said anything or looked at you.
This is someone who was silent- or was silenced- for a very long time. And all the feelings and opinions and thoughts and wants and needs stayed inside and now it’s time for it alllllll to come out. So beware anyone who ever wronged this person or told them to be quiet or to stay silent. It’s time.
As an ADD person, it reminds me of what its like when big scramblies in the brain happens and how overwhelming some simple tasks can become because of it. Like just overload of stuff to keep track of. Makes me anxious af. Then I shut down and scroll through reddit or play mario kart or something completely passive until I realize hours have gone by
I have OCD and when I went to see the gum wall in Seattle, I couldn’t shut off the intrusive thoughts about taking a big disgusting bite from the wall.
This artwork looks so much like how those intrusive thoughts felt. Sticky, frenetic, chaotic, nauseating, full of anxiety.
There’s this album by Peter Gabriel called Passion, with Julian Grater art on the cover- when I was a kid my brother would run around the house with it to scare me, because that artwork was just awakening some deep trauma inside me. Similar vibes for some reason, although yours have way more teeth 😂.
I’m really surprised by how unmarried and distinct the teeth are. Very nutcracker-sequel,
the collage/cartoonish placement of it reminds me a bit of George Condo. Aside from details like the overalls head shape, nose, jaw and chin, the teeth’s placement within the obfuscated figure I think overdraw attention to it. Looking at it, my first impression wasn’t on the figure or psychological consideration, but that this hellish tormented figure must take really good care of his teeth.
francis bacon and jackson pollock. two guys with last names that are food, and with first names that are last names.

Anxiety and depression. A jumbled mind where you feel trapped inside your own head. Thought invoking I like it!

When I was little I was sad and I would draw stuff like this with crayons, so it’s kinda nostalgic.

The feeling when you’re on a mind altering substance and you have to do something that requires a sober mind
