This work explores mental health and a lack of control through the chemical distortion of a photographic print. The piece reflects both the emotional and physical side of my own experience. The emotional aspects are depicted through the silhouetted figure and chaotic colours, and the physical and chemical reactions are represented through the usage of chemicals as a material. The process of creation and distortion incorporated into this piece explores control and letting go, as well as seeking to understand mental health and the unique effects it can have. My work aims not only to communicate my own experiences, but also to connect with people on an individual level.
