Mixed media collage consisting of original photographs, paint and print. All photographic and illustrative elements are the original work of the artist (excluding archival text)
This work marks my transition from the exhaustion of neurodivergent masking to the freedom found within the Art in Healthcare group. After a period of profound depression and burnout, the group offered a sanctuary to create without the pressure to please or perform. By hand-layering my own photography and art work with fragments of school reports, clinical documentation and professional/creative critiques, I am deconstructing the external voices that once reinforced my need to conform.
