Damaged Doll

For this piece, it is related to psychology, specifically BPD, and how self-image works. Many people, including myself, have changed themselves because someone they loved asked them to or not. This can lead to one losing themselves and their mental health for the sake of others. BPD, or Borderline Personality Disorder, can significantly impact self-image, often leading individuals to adapt their behaviors and personalities in response to the demands and expectations of others, which can result in a loss of identity and mental well-being.

2. Mindful Relief My piece of artwork is the visualization of the relief after hemispherectomy. Hemispherectomy is the surgical procedure where the diseased half of the brain is removed. Most patients who get this procedure are children between the ages of 7 to 16 years old and this is due to severe epilepsy or spasms. After the surgery you would think there would be huge changes to a person but there are reports that patients lives are completely normal and they do everyday things like everyone else. Patients get this procedure to no longer endure the pain of seizures but to live a life of relief.
