"FRAGMENTS OF ME"
BY KATRIEL BALANAY
Fragments of Me is a series of four illustrations depicting the artist’s personal experiences with depression, anxiety, trauma, and suicidal thoughts.
Through the story of one girl, the series seeks to translate often unseen emotions into visual form, capturing how these states truly feel: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Each piece is meant to render the intensity of these experiences, showing the weight, tension, and complexity of mental health struggles in a way that is usually difficult to put into words.
Escape, a lie she has learned to live with.
Chaotic, yet unseen. Loud, but alone.
Wounded by her past, haunted by the present.
No performance left to give.
