Description

This is a portrait of a child. Within the piece are pages from the children's book, The Missing Piece, by Shel Silverstein. There is also an original poem by Erica Loberg in the arm of the child. Below is the poem: OUTSIDE THE INSIDE Mental illness is inside It’s not physical So you can’t tell If someone suffers A mental illness. That’s what they say. That’s what they say But you can. It’s written in the eyes On the face. We live in a world of in and out Come and go Now or not. When is the last time you looked Into someone’s eyes For more than 30 seconds During a conversation Or an intimate moment Or ever? Depression lodges itself in the lids Mania stirs itself in the eye And eyes tell a story A physical Gateway To the inside. The mental illness that rests Inside. As it sits outside On the face.
