DREAMS OF WARPED FLESH

Title: DREAMS OF WARPED FLESH

Idea: freedom from the mind

As a small introduction, I am a queer artist who lives with a psychotic disorder. I come from an extremely multicultural background and have an odd relationship with my body and its gender.

This experience is what drove me to create this piece, it's meant to portray how beautifully traumatic my life has been so far, with its proportions being so slightly ajar and its elements so vulgar. It's meant to be a cry for help as my condition worsens, and the shapes of the dead and half living torment me ever more. It's longing for peace of mind I will never have, and a body I will never get back. In addition, It takes my experience with being transgender and the impact it has had on my perception of self and how my body will never experience the joy of growing up as the average person.

In short, this piece is about my longing to exist as I want to, even though I know it will never happen.
