My Mind & Me explores a series of 16 abstract sculptural heads that depict the emotional states of my mind, reflective of my struggles with depression and anxiety. Throughout this work, I bring forward emotions that I often kept hidden and translate them into physical forms, resulting in work that reflects masking, avoidance, distress, and irritability. This creative process enables me to find comfort in vulnerability and develop a deeper self-acceptance. Rather than concealing these experiences, the work places them in direct view, transforming struggle into a form of reflection and creative inspiration.

The human head serves as a framework, allowing for both recognition and distortion, creating shifts between abstraction and realism. Manipulation of facial features, surface, and texture, through additive and destructive processes, reflects the instability and fragmentation often associated with mental health struggles. Installed in a 4-by-4 grid, the work initially presents a sense of order and balance, but upon further exploration, distress becomes prevalent. This contrast mirrors the relationship between outward appearance and internal experience, emphasizing the silent battles many fight alone.
