Imposing into a spaceđ
As I had picked my final 6 designs, I wanted to do something where I showed them on a large scale, what they would look like as a statement wall. I chose an image of an interior space and imposed my designs. Due to lockdown, I am working at home with limited resources; I don't have any software to professionally scan them in and edit. I ideally would have liked to do it this way to make sure the designs are shows for what they are, and not in any reduced quality. Earlier on I had used collage to show an installation I had made so I revisited this process again.
Using a scalpel, I cut out the wall of choice and created these outcomes:
I really love how they have turned out. My initial intention was to get people talking about OCD through my work. I definitely think I have achieved this here and I am really proud of the journey I have gone through to end with this series. I would ideally like my wallpapers to be used at counselling sessions, charity events, etc - places where OCD is being spoken about. Or even as the face of a charity.
I have really enjoyed this project and researching into the disorder. At the beginning, I knew only what I had/have been through. Learning about other's perspectives and about other people who suffer from it has made me personally feel a lot better in myself. I am called 'crazy' on lots of occasions but this project has made me realise that I am not. My OCD is a part of me, yet it doesn't dictate my life.
