We humans have an undeniable love for animals- whether they are wild animals we see outside or our own pets that live in our homes with us. Humans have a deep psychological bond towards animals, and the way we interact with them when we are young shows a lot about our mental state. Children who interact kindly with animals grow up to be kind people- whereas children who have a history of abusing or mistreating animals grow up to be psychopaths who eventually harm people.

When it comes to a well cared for pet, however, there is no denying that the animal views humans and itself differently than other animals. The cat for example, is known throughout pop culture as being “conceited” or “snobby”, as compared to dogs, who are thought of as loyal pets to humans.

Humans and cats have a unique relationship- while they are not as excitable or outwardly friendly as dogs, we do keep them around for some reason.

Hypnos, the Greek god of Sleep. 2000×2793. Digital media.

For My sleep project I am considering doing a digital painting of the greek god of sleep, Hypnos. He is one of the lesser known Greek gods. He is the son of Nyx, goddess of the night. He is a peaceful god, which is quite rare compared to other Greek gods, who are usually murderous, lustful and crazy, or all three.

Title: Delirium

To become delirious, is to be in an “acutely disturbed state of mind resulting from illness or intoxication and characterized by restlessness, illusions, and incoherence of thought and speech.”

My piece was inspired by people who have become so intoxicated, whether it be from hallucinogen or otherwise, that they have hallucinated being abducted by aliens.

My amnesia project is based on an old film I remember watching a long time ago when I was younger. It was about a woman who washed up on a shore one day with amnesia. she was found by a covenant, and was taken in as a nun.

The masks behind my character represent our past lives before the traumatic experience that caused amnesia- we have little grasp on what happened, yet our physical body still lived through these experiences. The hands represent how much of our memory is linked to our sense of touch- and how touching familiar objects can help recover memory.
