Labels Series

Digital print on fabric (42″ x 60″).

My conceptual art project, Labels was featured in the Bursting Bubbles exhibit during the Rendezvous with Madness Festival in 2018 at the Toronto Media Arts Center. It is a series of self-portraits overlaid with text labels, which examine how the power dynamics of stigma and stereotyping create arbitrary binary divisions and undermine a greater collective appreciation of individuality and identity.

I’m Fine

Print on fabric ( 17″ x 16″)

I’M FINE explores the dissonance between the lived reality of a person with mental illness suffering in silence and the “healthy” persona they must present to society.

Dissociation

Paper Collage

This paper collage explores lived experiences of mental illness and trauma, manifesting as dissociation. It is a surreal and symbolic depiction of how this dissociation feels— as if there is a sudden disembodiment and detachment from reality, floating in an alternative dimension or some hidden crevice of the mind. Depicted by the mirroring of monochrome and colour in the collage, dissociation can be experienced on a spectrum of unpleasant “grey” spaces of trauma-induced dissociation to nonpathological creative and imaginative daydreams. Dissociation was exhibited at (mus) interpreted in 2019 and at Being Scene in 2020.
