Disconnected from Reality
I’ve battled depression on and off since the mid ’90s, and have often found myself feeling a surreal sense of awkwardness in different environments, and sometimes in my own skin. Immersing myself in books, films, and video games helps me manage my depression, but I’ve also wondered if immersing myself so fully into various stories has caused my recurrent feelings of disconnectedness to magnify. This project gave me the chance to visualize this feeling of not fitting in and of feeling surreal by exploring the juxtaposition of reality and fantasy through the use of photography and digital illustration.

I imagine the creator was very drunk. Chimera, 2009 Woohoo! You opened this blog entry so here's an extra fancy Chimera image for you to laugh at. I mean, it's not horrible, but it is a bit cheesy. ;)
