8 Stifte sortiert (8 Crayons Assorted) Collage

This self portrait combines two images. One is an image of myself, a selfie actually, taken on my admission into a psychiatric ward in 2012 with depression. It was there that I rediscovered my urge to draw, paint, make a mark, create art. My face is superimposed and looking at an old box of crayons that I would have drawn with as a child. The box reads “8 Stifte Sortiert” (8 Crayons Assorted) and “Deutsche Demokratische Republik” (German Democratic Republic). Painting and drawing was my favorite pastime as a kid and whenever I wasn’t feeling good it was my wellness tool. The painting connects myself now with my younger self and honours the importance of creativity in my life that lead to my decision to go to art college and become a professional artist.
