Charcoal on Drawing Paper

Dépaysement drawing using juxtaposition, ambiguity, and spatial disruption to express emotions on the outside versus emotions on the inside. This artwork expresses how those struggling with mental health may express happiness, but it can be a complete facade hiding their true emotions, and their need of help.
