Concepts/description: Unusual beauty is a collection of digitally rendered prints that draws inspiration from the unusual and wild beauty of mental disorders. It attempts to offer an alternate perspective that is more playful and affirming than the general stigma around mental disorders. There is an incredible degree of complexity between the binary categories used to define sane and insane, normal and abnormal, us and them.

This body of work explores the liminal space between such categorical dualities by offering abstract and refreshingly vibrant digital expressions in response to the complexities of the human mind and its myriad of existential forms. Alternative surface imaging techniques are utilized to highlight diversity and a reimagining of constructed norms by printing on unorthodox substrates such as holographic film, iridescent film, sheer fabric.
