"Beneath The Surface" is a multidisciplinary project that examines Freud's defense mechanisms through modern artistic practices. This work includes poetry, photography, and essays that resonate with themes of repression, projection, and sublimation. By exploring personal and collective experiences, I aim to overcome inhibitions and gain deeper insights into mental health and self-discovery. The project will culminate in a gallery installation showcasing the intersection of Freud’s theories and contemporary art, enriching our understanding of the human psyche.
