A Look Inside My Cave, 2020, mixed media installation, 96" x 84"" x 96"

A Look Inside My Cave is a view into the life of someone who struggles with serious mental health issues. During the best of times I struggle to get by with my borderline personality disorder, and without the regular social interactions and joys of non-quarantined society I’ve gone from “keeping it together” to surviving. This installation displays coping mechanisms from healthy to hurtful, littered with pill bottles and pills collected over the last two years. - August Barringer

despair came knocking, 2020, acrylic, 30” x 40”
trap phone fantasies, 2020, acrylic and oil stick, 30” x 40”
requiem of my past fate, 2020, acrylic and oil stick, 36” x 48”
fading away, 2020, acrylic and spray paint, 30” x 40”

When I create a painting I’m influenced by prominent events of my past which sculpted me into being the individual I am today. I also attempt to reflect my current mood and mental state onto the canvas, as well as external influences via the world and culture through my perspective. - Sander Kupfer
