Repeat. Don’t stop (2020) by Mariyam Shany Ahmed (Manje)

“Individuals diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often find themselves repetitively doing tasks, gestures, speaking or counting with an unjustified fear that stopping the action will cause something worse happening. OCD patients often describe their life as living with constant anxiety, a buzzing brain that just won’t stop.
In the center of this artwork is a brain MRI of a person with severe OCD.”
