About
Our mental geography is anchored to what we experience in a physical place. Our bodies inhabit a space; if this location is familiar the process of inhabiting is invisible, without tremor. When our bodies are jolted out from the familiar, we enter into a state of heightened awareness and the processes of place-creation are exposed. The landscape of our mind is molded by sensory overload. Paradoxical feelings are unleashed and clash in excited confusion. In mapping these moments of transition, we are left with fragments, both imagined and real. This experience creates a schism of well-being, a schism of the self, as what we are able to understand collides with what we are experiencing in the moment.
