“I AM NOT OKAY”
Depression causes people to wear emotional masks in order to cope with their daily life. Artist Aoife Shine uses this shroud as a prop to convey the hardship of recovery and repair. This mask opens up the idea of introspection. She uses herself as a medium for her practise to honestly explore her inner minds workings and uses her body to express the mental condition. Art for her is a relief from her struggles and she uses its creative properties to impower and create states of being. Her artwork is made in solidarity for those who suffer from similar experiences and comments on the assumptions people have on the symptoms of mental health. Aoife’s visuals stem from emotions of confusion and states of overwhelming abandonment. “I am not Okay” is an exploration of Aoife’s consciousness through personal motifs and self-reflection, critiquing on past decisions and the fear of future repetition.
