Kalei Moon Griggs Painter My intention for my senior projects is to create a series of paintings that focus on various concepts about my mental health. Since middle school, I have struggled with anxiety, and creating art has always helped me deal with it. However, I never addressed my anxiety in my art. I finally want to express my experience rather than keep it bottled up introspectively. With my projects, I want to find some sense of comfort in addressing my experience and the potentiality of being free from the burdens of anxiety. I aim to create Pop Surrealist scenes that visually and symbolically represent how anxiety makes me feel and the positive and negative consequences of anxiety. My paintings are metaphysical realms painted to cater to the conditions of my mind. Furthermore, I find it necessary that my art be interpreted in infinite ways aside from the one I try to convey.
