I had the opportunity to create on Adobe Live AGAIN. This project was inspired by my recent therapy sessions. I started my therapy journey by simply being told that I needed it. After feeling embarrassed about it, I said, "maybe it is time." I really wanted to find a Black woman therapist that understood me, so I went to BetterHelp.com (which gives you tons of options and at an affordable price) and found my therapist on the first try!
My goal with this project to show what my anxiety looks/feels like and what goes on inside of my head. I also want these pieces to advocate the importance of therapy, especially for Black creatives.
Here's how it started:
I started out by jotting down a list of ideas and words that my therapy sessions conversations consisted of. I also sketched out what I wanted to capture and potentially composite together. I wanted to show what my anxiety looks/feels like and what goes on inside of my head.
Behind the Scenes
At first, I wanted to have my head surrounded by jungle and and then realized I actually want to put the jungle actually inside of head with me trying to "find my way."
See the Process!
If you missed it or if it's your 10th time watching it (no judgement from me), the YouTube videos for both days are provided below to watch the magic on replay. It was 2 days of showing up and showing out! Totally worth a watch, if you ask me.
