My piece is about my experience with my tic disorder. (A tic is an involuntary action or sound. There are many causes of tics, the most well-known being Tourette’s) The collage has a TV-static texture which represents how it feels to suppress tics. The marionette hand and yarn represent how the tics feel like I’m being controlled or like I don’t have any control over my body. The piece is a self-portrait, which further emphasizes the connection of the marionette hand and me.

Creativity means that I have a way to express the world inside me to others. It’s a way to self express.
