Blind Spot
where the mind never quite meets the body
Fall 2020
Ink, washi tape
Blind Spot is a 6 piece collection of illustrations on the invisible trauma of dysphoria and the uncomfortable relationship to medicine it brings me. Creating these externalized my inability to truly see or connect with my physical form, as well as my discomfort with medical transition. Processing the disconnect between my body as it was and the body I needed to see myself in was a critical emotional step in accepting and preparing for top surgery.
Working outside of my typical illustration style, the sparse color and minimal linework mirrors the hollow sensation of existing in a vessel that I never fully inhabited or truly felt at home in.
