Hybernation

Artist Statement:

For Hybernation I chose to explore the cycle of side effects from my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder medication. I end up in a cycle of disturbing intrusive thoughts, binge eating, over sleeping, and depression. I though it might be interesting to explore this cycle through the eyes of an animal turning against its instincts of survival due to an unrealistic fear of destruction. When I try to explain this cycle people often don't understand why taking care of myself can be so hard to do. So this story was a way for me to describe it in a different way. Although it might be even more complicated to be honest.
