Dormant Mind

Romina Cosentino

Dormant Mind is a photographic series that explores the tension between creative inspiration and exhaustion through the mind and body of an artist. The mind begins to fall into dormancy when faced with creative burn out, as the mind scatters for new ideas while the body begins to shut down. Through self-portraiture the body and mind become both a subject and site of quiet stillness and chaotic desperation. Disoriented views of the human body are presented through overexposure and motion while being devoid of colour, that dives into the dormant mindscape. This series frames the experience of burn out not as failure, but instead a necessary process to work through and overcome.
