Utilizing self-portraiture, I express displacement of both identity and time.  The use of overlap in each drawing depicts the body in a state of constant motion, creating a feeling of unease and unrest. The same feeling that comes with caregiving for a parent and two young children. This uncontained movement is juxtaposed against the stillness of place—a home with wallpapered patterns on the walls, cared-for house plants and window lit spaces that ground each room. I find that I am physically present and not mentally present. I ask myself, how can I be here, if I am there?  He needs me but they need me. Am I still present if I am dissociating? If he is sick, am I sick too? Can I save him?
