Lyydia Osara - Invisible Pattern
“Mental illnesses are invisible disease and it’s impossible to physically see the effects within in the human mind. It is easier to make sense of physical problems, rather than the abstract struggles that take place in the mind. This is why I am working with abstract imagery to explore mental health. I want to express pure emotion through my work, to release my own emotional extremes - even if just for a moment.
Mental health is still so stigmatized and I wanted to use this exploration of my own mental health to encourage conversation about the topic, to normalise it, because I know there are so many experiencing similar issues.“
