Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a fascinating neurological condition where individuals with significant vision loss experience vivid, often complex visual hallucinations. These hallucinations range from simple patterns to detailed images of people, animals, or fantastical scenes. My project seeks to explore the emotional, psychological, and phenomenological dimensions of CBS through a series of paintings that capture the elusive, transient, and surreal nature of these hallucinations.

I aim to create visual interpretations of the syndrome, focusing on how individuals might experience the dissonance between the real world they inhabit and the illusory visions they see. The paintings will explore the tension between loss and creation—where the mind, deprived of sight, compensates by generating intricate and sometimes disturbing images. The series will also touch upon themes of isolation, perception, and the fragility of sensory experience.
