When I was sixteen I started having depressive and manic episodes. Talking about my feelings was too scary for me, so drawing became my way of surviving and expressing what I was going through. That's how I started visualizing bipolar disorder through drawings.

I recently started a project called "Phases", it's a compilation of drawings I've been making since 2011 where I draw bipolar disorder's symptoms.

    I'm interested in using your artwork as cover art for a book I'm writing about my experiences with bipolar disorder. Email me if you're open to discussing the possibility further: christinasantiagotv@gmail.com.
