MARIA COHEN
Within drawings, I explore the subtle relationship between sensations and the physical body. By combining traditional drawing techniques with digital manipulation, I capture the complexity and variety of nuances of my own emotions. The animation shows a sense of the physicality of the feelings by using movement-stabilizing techniques and layering different elements together, giving the viewer a visceral sense of what it feels like to experience anxiety, falling, and frustration. This is a powerful way of communicating the depth and intensity of these emotions, which can often be difficult to express through words alone.
