“Overwhelmed” - “A Trip Through Thought” Series

“Overwhelmed” is how I feel when I cannot calm down. If I engage in the compulsion, I enforce that cycle teaching myself the thought now dangerous. Anytime I have that thought again I only get more nervous, I have trouble calming down, and thoughts are running wild inside my head, usually causing a panic attack.

“A Trip Through Thought” depicts a look into the inner workings of anxiety and OCD, based on my own experiences. The pieces tell a sequential story of an irrational thought and how OCD manipulates it and the difficulties of that process. Various parts of the experience are visually explored through surreal worlds.
