Broken Us

About
the Drop

We are all Broken...

Something I’ve learned through my years-long study of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality is that, save for a lucky enlightened few, everyone is broken. We put up brave masks for others and ourselves to demonstrate strength. We wear this mask to disguise or compensate for problems that haunt us, a projection rooted in trauma and scarcity. Through the triptych “Broken Us,” I call attention to three common masks.

  • The helpless hands with a bullet through the brain
  • The knight with the long thorn lodged in the heart
  • The walking advertisement powering through life

These are people like you or me. They are you and me at different points in life.

Through this work, I try to provoke self-reflection in the viewer to identify their psychological holds so they can begin the work to release them.

Sculptures with a "mind signature"

The main figure in each piece was sculpted on my iPad. The feathers at the bottom are generative art based on my brainwaves, transmitted by an EEG headset as I made each sculpture and translated by my computer as imagery. The color and size of the feathers were determined by my brainwaves, giving the viewer a glimpse into the inner workings of my mind while I created the sculpture, a sort of mind-signature on the artwork.
