Schizo by Jaquan Flippin aka Nuae
Medium: Oil Pastel, Charcoal Pencil on paper
Size: 11 x 8.5 inches
Artist statement: “Schizo- echo, all alone, this is me. Constant darkness or dark thoughts. Going through it. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was about 9 years old. Besides from that, a majority of the time I try not to think about giant bear size tarantulas or get lost in my reality simulations. DESPAIR IS ME.”
