Modern day science has let us study not only our physical body's wellness but also the mind, and mental health through physiological studies. With the title "Convoluted Strawberries", my central idea of the concentration is the different mental disorders and twisted minds of what is called the "Strawberry" generation. My work explores abnormal states of mind using different objects we see in daily lives, as in fact mental illnesses are not something that are very uncommon for us.
Whatever is inside our heads is something that we, in modern society with such advanced technology, could still not figure out. For me, to express such unknown and abstract ideas, minds of human beings such as teenagers, was a challenge. First I tried to express it through glitch and patterns(image 1,3,5) but minds are more complex than what is expressed on a flat 2 dimension. That is when I discovered yarn. It added a completely different texture and dimension in contrast with my detailed pencil works, expressing how mind is so surreal compared to reality. I kept the elements of glitch in yarn to connect reality and dreamy things (images 6,7,8,10,12 ). My concentration doesn't have a conclusion as there is no answer to what a mental illness is. It is different and unique for everyone and I've portrayed mine in the best way possible.
