At the beginning of the pandemic, because of the lock down and the fear of catching the virus, I isolated myself, and became almost myopically focused on myself, and how my body feels. Because of the mental tension, I started to realize that the mind can influence how the body feels. The physical experience activates the psychological feelings, vice versa. This is called Embodied cognition, which is the relationship between physical experience and psychological states.

illustrations focused on showing the human body’s reaction under the influence of the physical environment and subjective consciousness. The physical experience activates the psychological feelings, and vice versa. Drawing presents specific body part and its reaction under a specific environment.

When I created the illustration, I wanted my audience to feel connected with them. Thus, I personify the organs as a way to depict the feelings, as if the organs have their own consciousness.
