ARTIST STATEMENT

A sense of hopelessness, pressure, and despair— Flea in a jar is an
experiment where fleas are trapped inside a jar and will jump repeatedly
until they learn that hitting the lid is painful. When the lid is removed,
they will only jump as high as the lid. Dealing with mental health alone,
one feels they are confined to a tight space and are unable to move.
Constantly jumping from one problem to another, unable to break
free of this never-ending loop.

Flea in a jar a series focuses on one anonymous red subject, a crumpled
paper cutout.The series features dissociation from reality, a sensation of
alienation from oneselfand one's surroundings. a space where you can
express your feelings

This is our catharsis to reduce stigma and educate the public.
And a reminder to others who are still caught like fleas in a jar.
