Mental health is becoming increasingly important to the stability of our society. Our senses are overloaded with constant information and this intense amount of swallowed information becomes volatile if not checked. These emotion maps began as a response to a series of three bicycle accidents I was involved in that led to panic and anxiety attacks. Everyone's brain is wired differently, and therapy was not helping to resolve my pain, so I developed a way for me to manage my emotions. I sit down with a blank sheet of paper at the end of the day and work through anything that happened. I grab my pen and close my eyes, and begin to draw a line which changes alongside my changing emotions. There are clearly moments of doubt, frustration, anger, hatred, annoyance, happiness, calmness, etc. This set is from letting someone go that was dear to me in December of 2019. The intensity of this session caused tears and a bloody nose to drip onto the page as my eyes were closed.
