This is a personal piece, and also my final thesis at Ringling College of Art and Design, created to evoke a connection from viewers using relatable themes and metaphors inspired from life.
Programmed Emotion deals with the struggles of isolation, and the destructive cycle that follows.
This story is visualized through a man who is trapped in a containment lab and is forced to endure a treatment called ‘Programmed Emotion.’
This treatment is an attempt to forcefully make a person relive their worst emotions through induced abstract dreams of reality.
The moral I wanted to communicate through this project was “Persistence in the face of great struggle, can lead to the greatest growth.”
