During covid (2020) I was diagnosed with PTSD. I felt like my thoughts and mind were not my own and as though I were breaking slowly from within. I felt so estranged from myself and didn't recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. I felt like others only saw my illness instead of who I really was deep down inside. It was almost like I was becoming it. There is a hand on the medusa's head. It was molded by using my own hand as reference and the fingers morph into the snakes. It is meant to symbolize the other side of me, the side affected by PTSD slowly taking over and influencing my thoughts.
