When looking at social media and television, there is a constant portrayal of mental illness that is other-ized and glamorized. I never thought I would have to deal with it until a close family member attempted suicide in 2018, which I now know that this is something that is real, tangible, and prevalent. As my family plans to move away from the place that I’ve called home for the past fifteen years, I was left in a limbo to explore the expressions of anxiety and time on myself and how their attempt has affected our dynamic. My work expresses the loss and dullness of my own emotions and how I would put myself through sometimes harmful things to capture some control over my own body. It also talks about the expression of time, not only of myself, but how time causes the things we hold so near and dear to us to eventually seem like such a foreign place.
