Drowning in OCD

Description

A body fragmenting and multiplying beneath dark water, pulled downward by countless arms. This painting documents what untreated OCD feels like over years — not a single moment of anxiety, but accumulated weight, compounded suffering. The figure morphs and divides because that's the sensation: being pulled in multiple directions simultaneously, unable to surface, unable to stay whole. The deep blue background is the pressure, the drowning medium itself. Therapy helps, but not instantly. This is the toll of living under that grip for a long time.
