Collage distortion

And using the hexagon shapes i've been using throughout ..i made these collages.



Same picture three times just collaged in different ways using hexagons.

Drawing distortion.

After taking the distorted photos I thought I'd give drawing them a go.
Both my sister and aunt who have panic attacks agreed that they were very ''panic attacky''.






Its just the same face drawn three times overlapping each other.

Photographic distortion.

Tried to recreate the blurred / distorted vision again..
I used a long exposure on a camera while moving to get the effect and then afterward I edited them on my laptop.
Should fill a few pages in the ol' sketch book.

Daniel Rozin

Just realised how separate my mirror box is to the rest of my project ..so I thought i should
brain storm some ideas relating to mirrors and maybe update my sketch book.

I found a good video here ! don't ask about the music ...I have no clue...

Panic attack on the bus.


Buses are another place that can cause panic attacks.. so i just toke more photos through my fence.




 this last one is just of my bag but i like the photo.



Falling to pieces

 
claustrophobics often compare panic attacks to falling to pieces... I wanted to recreate this as an art piece and also conduct an experiment as to whether or not passing people will stop and help the sufferer out and put back the pieces.

The result? the majority of lsad students will help you out if you're ever having a panic attack. :)

Jigsaw

So Im making an interactive piece ...
ill explain it more later but heres the paintings for it so far..

Calm


 Panic

Old picture

Forgot to upload this picture from ages ago.. just the one from my panic attack.. mirror.. box.. thing?

So many hexagons..

Again i asked my sister about panic attacks and she said everything gets distorted and you just feel like your falling to pieces.. 
So i toke the hexagon shapes from the fence and used them here ... 

so this one is more so the 'falling to pieces' part..
the crowd in the background is the cause of the attack.

and here is a collage for distortion ...

More photos

Finally got the photos from the other side of the plastic fence...



Photos of an elavator..the cause of many claustrophobic attacks



Next i'm taking the hexagon shapes from the fence and using them in new work.

Painting...sorta

I tried painting the photos i took earlier ... I forgot to take a picture of the painting but heres a line drawing of the same one...

Back to basics.

So i decided to revisit my main theme, claustrophobia (restriction). Still using hands to symbolise restriction , i drew this..
but seen as I've done a lot of 2d work i decided to try out making 3d hands from plastic gloves filled with water...i also froze them. 


i like the way the ice melts the same way that a panic attack eases off over time.
Yeah, i doubt i'll go any further with this but it was worth trying.
