The series Delusional Parasitosis delves into the disquieting intersections of mental illness, perception, and reality, with a particular focus on eating disorders. Here, the act of eating is reimagined—not as a fundamental and nourishing human behavior, but as a site of conflict where sustenance transforms into an obstacle. Through meticulously composed still-life imagery, the series captures the distorted lens through which mental illnesses alter the mundane, presenting food as both an obsession and a source of anguish.

The viewer is drawn directly into these unsettling compositions, adopting the perspective of the afflicted. This participatory point of view forces the audience to inhabit the discomfort and distortion, blurring the boundaries between subject and observer. The notion of delusional parasitosis—an unfounded yet unwavering belief in being infested by parasites, insects, or pathogens—becomes an allegory for the pervasive impact of these disorders. Pathogens appear poised to invade, while omnipresent colored pills hover ambiguously between relief and harm, reflecting the fragile duality of treatment and its consequences.

Vampirism – Renfield Syndrome explores the enigmatic, often misunderstood psychiatric condition characterized by a compulsion to consume blood. In this arresting still life, a glass filled with vampire teeth dominates the composition, symbolizing the tension between myth and reality. Surrounding the glass are strands of candy-red spaghetti, their playful aesthetic belied by the sinister undertones of their context.

In The Fear of Choking, anxiety manifests through a visceral tableau: a plate of cold, unyielding stones replaces nourishment, and a glass brimming with sharp nails stands in for refreshment. As the viewer steps into the scene, the banal act of eating transforms into a perilous struggle, where the fear of choking becomes a metaphor for the overwhelming barriers that anxiety imposes on daily life. The unnerving objects, stripped of their comforting roles, symbolize how mental health challenges can distort perception, rendering the simplest tasks insurmountable.

Sugar and Neurons is an artwork that  explores the detrimental effects of sugar on both mental and physical health. This photograph features a fake plastic brain topped with melting ice cream, symbolizing the deceptive allure of sugar and its harmful impact on cognitive functions. Adjacent to this, a prosthetic hand reaches for a marshmallow, representing the physical repercussions of diabetes, such as limb loss. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of the hidden dangers of sugar consumption, linking dietary choices directly to severe health outcomes.

Spring is Coming! captures the delicate interplay between mental illness and the promise of renewal. Central to the artwork is a butterfly under a glass dome on a plate, representing the fragility and entrapment associated with eating disorders and mental health challenges. This butterfly, a symbol of transformation, suggests the potential for change and growth. Surrounding elements like soap bubbles and daisies enhance the narrative: the bubbles reflect the fleeting nature of hardships, while the daisies symbolize hope and healing. This piece serves as a gentle reminder of resilience and the rejuvenating power of spring, offering hope amidst struggles.
