Dissociation

$550Original canvas

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.”

— H.P. Lovecraft

Canvas with hand-generated gilding and embroidery. Imagery reflective of the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder. Gold detailing follows the Circle of Fifths — a tonal architecture mirroring the diagnosis.
