Digital Photograph (Matte Print), 2023, 16 × 16”
I titled this work off the poem "I Am!" by John Clare from 1865 - he speaks of mental illness and the swirling of the mind, how he wished for peace in a loud world both outside and inside of himself. I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 18 - having felt the effects of it throughout my childhood. Today, I look at it as a gift - I will forevermore find the details lost to others in the things that surround me - and with the aid of my therapist, I have altered my very perception to present to you today, my story.
