MINDSCAPE, 2025

Picture printed on photo canvas and a video creation is projected on top, creating a photo installation

A photo therapy session turned into an art work over time to portray visually my anxiety attacks and the turmoil and constant worry in my mind. Wanting a way to showcase visually my battle every day with anxious feelings. Letting go of the need to be perfect and portraying myself vulnerably and as true as possible. Using more than 500 self portrays to create a video to be projected on top of a classical black and white self portrait. The video is done by using stop motion and layers to create the final piece. Adding sound like whispers and soft beating of a heart and also a relaxing smell of valerian to pull in the watcher into the dar and safe room. Using different human senses to enhance the experience. Big thank you to KLSR who let me use his musical creation “Bliss” in my work. ALL SONG CREDITS TO HIM. Through this work I wanted to learn more about the use of art therapy to help treat mental battles.
