I have naturally discovered an interest in art therapy and psychoanalysis, actively advocating the positive effects of art as therapy through workshops and sessions with friends and locals in between my professional practice and course work. My work and research around this has been evident in presenting the positive impacts of artistic communication, understanding and expression, I am motivated to continue contributing research to this field as well as further establish the movement of ‘art on mind’ in the 21st century. Following on from my last project, I will be contributing research to the fields of art therapy and psychoanalysis by exploring cases of war in relation to the positive impact of art; ultimately highlighting how art is essential in a movement emotional distress.
