“Haunted”,"You Should See Me in A Crown”, and “We’re All Mad Here” are designed to evoke strong emotions. Th= intentionally vague subject matter aims to elicit a personalized response from each viewer that resonates uniquely with them. By leaving room for interpretation, these works invite audiences to project their own experiences, fears, and traumas onto the narrative. This approach creates a deeply personal connection between the art and the observer, making each encounter with the piece distinct and meaningful. The ambiguity allows for a multitude of perspectives, encouraging conversations and reflections that might not arise from more explicit storytelling. My work is about the viewer’s personal mental health journey, not the artist’s interpretation of the viewer’s mental health journey. As viewers immerse themselves in the eerie ambiance of “Haunted”, the commanding presence of "You Should See Me in A Crown," or the personification of madness in “We Are All Mad Here”, they may find themselves exploring their inner landscapes. These works become mirrors, reflecting not just the artist's vision but also the viewer's inner world. Whether it’s a sense of unease, empowerment, or introspection, the emotional journey prompted by these pieces is as varied as the individuals experiencing them. In a world filled with clear-cut messages and straightforward narratives, the enigmatic nature of these works stands out, offering a refreshing space for contemplation and emotional exploration.
