You look into a mirror. This is what stares back at you. Is it really you? You ignore it- or maybe you don't ignore and instead refuse to acknowledge it. You say to yourself- I don't have time for this! You finish getting dressed, admire your accessories in the mirror once more, and go on about your business. You live another day a stranger to reality. You don't realize when you start to recognize yourself again, but you eventually do. I promise. This is part 2 of my "Cropped" painting series which explores the reality of dissociation and provides a visual answer to: How to push through it?
