Madness is an alternative to using mental health which has a history tied to a medical model. Madness, however is also a fluid term - defined by the person experiencing it and not delimited by fixed boundaries. Madness can be a term associated with pride and community. What does madness mean to you?

Madness is at the core of my art—reclaiming it as a cultural identity, not pathology. Each piece challenges history and reframes madness through creation.

Reimagined version of Blue Boy, Rococo imagery, the era that gave rise to the concept of madness as we know it. Blue Boy becomes more than just an aristocratic portrait—it becomes a reflection of shifting societal perceptions, challenging the boundaries between control, identity, and expression.
