About the series:

The "Dysmorphic Chaos" series is my artistic take on the tumultuous nature of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and its broader implications for human perception. It describes a state of internal disorder where self-image is in constant flux, distorted by an unreliable lens of self-perception. Key aspects include warped self-perception, a disconnect between reality and perception, a ripple effect on one's worldview, fluidity of perception as concerns shift between body parts, and compulsive behaviors that fuel the cycle of distorted perception.

This concept invites us to consider the unreliability of our perceptions in general. It highlights the subjectivity of beauty standards, the impact of social media on self-image, the gap between perception and reality, and the potential for fostering empathy and understanding. "Dysmorphic chaos" serves as a powerful metaphor for our often turbulent relationship with self-image and the world around us, reminding us that what we see isn't always what is, and encouraging a more nuanced and compassionate approach to understanding ourselves and others.
