Visualization of Dissociation

Description

I am an illustrator that is currently exploring the experience of dissociation through surreal and artistic means. Dissociation is a disconnection from yourself, the world around you, and your surroundings, and is often a symptom of a larger mental illness. It can also include a lack of continuity between thoughts and memories and can alter your perception of time. I wanted to take my own personal familiarity with this as an opportunity to explore the abstract aspects of art, while also trying to portray an experience that is already hard to explain in itself.
