    Numb

    By

    Numb, by Kerri Curtis, refers to feeling of wanting to be numb after having too much outside stimulation and everything feels like it’s too loud, too bright, too much. Mix in anxiety, which can be equally tiring, and this piece is the safe cocoon to hide away in.

  • The image is all in black, white, and gray and is divided into three sections. The first shows text reading, "An almost invisible cause. Static moving. Patterns of sounds, invisibly visual." There is a dark figure at the bottom. The second image shows the words, "HYPER ACOUSTIC" built out of blocks. The image is very busy with a lot of cut out shapes in the background. The last image is mostly text, but the words keep getting cut off. There is also an arrow pointing down.
