Disturbed
Aneta Joshi
This piece revolves around mental health which is an issue that resonates with many people, especially now with everything that is going on in the world. I wanted to represent mental health at its darkest; it was important for me to present the anguish and suffering of a mental health disorder in strong, chilling way because it is easy for people to disregard it when they do not understand the severity of it.
The artist Shawn Coss inspired this piece of work because I was drawn to the way he represents mental illness as a form of its own; his art translates the sickness of the mind in a creepy yet accurate way and I found his work very inspiring as it is the first time I saw mental illness depicted in this way.
