Artist statement:
“Hallucinated alphabets….phantom numbers…. Is it me, or are they real?
Reconstructing the past from scarred memories of my childhood highlights my version of dyslexia. The illusions and games my mind used to play, was it a condition, or was it my sixth sense? Why were my notebooks full of red and blue? Why was I looked down upon during my early school days? Why did my confidence have to be deeply impacted? The ghosts have never gone. I am still looking for answers.”
Description:
“I am disLecsiC” is a visual representation of me and my constructed memories from my school days. As a student with learning differences, I had to navigate hurdles in my journey through school. My mind and eyes used to and still play tricks while reading and writing. My visual approach attempts to recreate my experience, the illusions and emotions.
