Thoughts
This piece started as me experimenting with some odd expressions but after the first few faces turned into something else. I think it represents my thought pattern whenever I start a therapy session and get asked "How are you today?" The answer is all of the above and I have no idea how to convey that truthfully, as always art is much easier to communicate with. Lately, I have been feeling so overwhelmed by competing intense emotions it makes any answer to that question feel misleading. Although, I also worry that I'm so out of touch that the real truth is that I can't identify my own emotional states. That is where the neuron-looking things came in linking all of the heads. These were supposed to then represent the most likely explanation - me overthinking.
How are you today?
