Use and don't throw!!

Phew..... cleared the webs finally!
It's been a while since I updated this space. Come December and all self-promises from the year almost-gone-by come soaring for verification. Hoping to update this more often....no hard promises this year.

 Compulsive Hoarding  or hoarding disorder is a pattern of behavior that is characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of the home and cause significant distress or impairment.

I created this illustration while researching on the topic as someone I know has been showing symptoms for a long time. Non-awareness in the society (including 3 doctors staying in the same neighborhood) has only made it worse.

 Symptoms of Hoarding Disorder  include individuals collecting junk mail, old catalogs, newspapers, worn out cooking equipment, clothes and things that "might" be used one day, broken things/trash, freebies and other promotional products......all cluttering living spaces to an extent that they cannot be used and in worse conditions where they cannot be entered.

This BBC Documentary- Britain's Biggest Hoarders is a good introduction into the lives of compulsive hoarders.

Poster-ios

For the 70's interaction that never happened!!
using the marbling paper in the background....

Oral Satisfaction

There is this thing that we do...and I was prey to it too.
It is under control, but sometimes its best to give up, come undone and surrender.
Its all that happened and all that you collect and keep under your breath until you can't hold anymore. You just have to do it. Its a collective work and more about sharing.

Excitement surges, adrenalin high and the anticipation from the other/s.

You lean, open your mouth and it all comes out.

Its out for the world, to awww, to shrug, to add spice to, to judge and finally to spread!!!

XOXO



(p.s. No puns intended)

Addicted

Dust is definitely there....but its the freedom in the air that matters.

Its been a long time since I have committed to come at a certain time;
since I have received innumerable, frantic calls, asking where I was;
a long time since I have given reason for something I'm doing;
since I have been questioned on something I did....

I've become to distant to how it was.
Addicted to this smell in the air.

How can I go back from here? How can I?....
