TW: OCD "My SI focuses on my brother's compulsions. Growing up, my brother was my biggest role model. I looked up to him in many ways, and we are very close to this day. My brother has struggled with OCD since he was young. Denying medications, he chose to live his life the way he believed he was meant to. I've seen how this has negatively affected him and the people close to him in his own life. I want my SI to focus on this perspective of OCD."

My mind often wandered to how to best make my effect on others as fleeting as possible. I didn’t want to be a burden. And it felt like everything I did was a burden. Who Will You Remember When I’m Finally Dead and Gone…? is a reflection of this point in my life."

"In a manner similar to how I pick up hobbies, the way I create my pieces ranges from a plethora of different mediums. From buttery oil paintings to scratchy iPad doodles, my pieces revolve around the purpose of sparking a placebo of when someone remembers a movie they watched as a kid or smells a scent that transports them to their childhood home."
