The concept of printing a mental screenshot through art is already such an interesting topic, but There's something that happens when someone gets complete anonymity and leaves messages for others in this way. Sometimes it is undecodable as if it were written by the survivor of a lost civilization, sometimes being censored by others without apparent reasons, sometimes open-ended questions are left on wall until erased, never to be answered. There’s something about looking to your right and seeing something on the stall wall that gives you a tiny look into another's brain or other people's interactions with no filter other than time and one's artistic ability.

     I have also had lots of opportunities to delve into certain niches of art in my time here and every time I am offered the possibility of choice I delve deeper into research on the art of the mentally ill. Schizophrenia primarily, although I am not directly affected by it, I have always been fascinated by the subject and how every illness’s effect is comparably different from one to the next. I always compare this type of art to my own and try to incorporate it from time to time because of the feelings it brings up.

     For this piece I was asked to revisit something that I have loved to work on in the past, and I have always loved filling up pages in my notebook with a multitude of unique style drawings. Matter of fact, for most of them I asked my friends to add to my creations because I have always loved to see different art styles clashing together in harmony on one drawing. And I decided to do exactly that. By mashing my love for “cave paintings,” the art of the mentally ill and my own unique style of drawing. And baking them into a nice ink pie, served on drywall for you all to dig in to.
