while our last one was about psychosis and the way my eyes are affected by light now thanks to medication, this one is about projecting my delusions upon myself as well as other people.

I think it’s a little bit triggering

good, that means i’m not preaching to the choir. as an artist, heck as a human being, i can tell you what you want to hear or i can tell you what you need to hear. projecting our delusions on ourselves or on other people is not healthy - period. we have to find another way to cope. and it appears as if no one is helping us - by that i mean society - they don’t care about us. so hopefully this scares us so much that we stop, myself included.

I watched the video and feel confused,
You say its about projecting delusions?

well yeah, it’s artistically done, just ponder it.
I’m pondering.
Have you been diagnosed with schizophrenia or do you just like the subject matter?
I watched the video yesterday and didn’t really understand it either. I thought maybe I didn’t understand it because I don’t have schizophrenia.

what is this? can i not post here. is this for certain people only. yes i do have schizophrenia. this is a forum on schizophrenia so i’m just trying to contribute, pal.
Not trying to give you a hard time,
Its not often that you get to ask an artist about their work, so I’m just taking advantage since I didn’t understand.

ok, cause i thought you were boxing me out or something.
but the point is to leave it up for the viewer. i can tell you what it is about, but then it’s like reading non-fiction, which is fine - i love non-fiction - but art has to be felt. it’s a fine line for me with show and tell, which is what art is.
well here goes, i hope this is worth it for you, projecting our delusions is what it is about. you kind of have to read between the lines. that creature in the flames is pure passionate delusion. he haunts me, cause he is so attractive to me - chaotic and crazy. his name is grim. then he talks to me, telling me they are going to get me - that he is coming for me. i see him out of the corner of my eye, stalking me, like a shadow moving on a car. the teddy bear is a symbol for safety, all soft and gentle, like a child. then the video manifests into me wanting to slow down - needing to find safety, all soft and gentle. so my friends come over and i find some sense of safety. but grim is still lurking within us. he is everywhere and the ending is just a reminder that he will always be there, haunting me. keep in mind this is not hollywood - i’m just an artist. i like how it came out myself though - one of my better ones.

The discordant music in such innocuous places. Explains so much of the illness
