Artist Statement:
This piece was inspired by the concept of mental illnesses and how only the person going through it is the one who truly understands it. Even then, they may not understand what they're going through entirely. A major inspiration for this piece was the book and movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The fog that the main character deals with and the ambiguous clarity that it lacks intentionally to make you think and try to understand. This piece can resonate with everyone differently. When I began the installation, it was to capture the emotions of a schizophrenic person. After a bit, I began to connect with the work in a different way - as if the eyes were people and watching me. There's a clear distress and uneasy situation going on, but the actual explanation of what is going on is left up to the viewer.
