Artist Submissions – Ben Sausman

Ben is a multi-disciplinary artist who focuses primarily on dichotomy and mental health within his art. These pieces represent the dichotomy of mind during COVID; the isolation, desperation, and the depression and its impact on mental health. These contrast with pieces representing a desire to escape and venture into a fantasy world of color and life – though not mentally stable due to COVID and alcohol/substance issues. Psychedelic dreams of escaping the prison it felt like.
