I can’t even concentrate on the line work to see how you even achieved this because my mind refuses to accept the whole image, that speaks of your talent😭

When I was in my 2nd year of college I had a severe dissociative episode due to a traumatic experience. At the time I didn’t have words to accurately describe what I was feeling which made it very difficult for me to get effective treatment. During that time I signed up for an introductory art class to fulfill a general credit I needed for my degree. I had really liked drawing as a kid but hadn’t taken a class on it since early high school. One of our final assignments was a self portrait.

I remember that looking in the mirror was really difficult because when you have dissociation as severe as I did, faces -ESPECIALLY your own- look all muddled and “moving” like this. I’ve seen people try to capture dissociation through photo filters and drawings before, but I’ve never seen anything as accurate as this. I’m not sure if this piece was supposed to be a reference to dissociation but it reminded me of that time and made me feel seen. Thank you for sharing, really impressive work ❤️
