“I didn’t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that’s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.” – Ned Vizzini

  1. I really love how Federico’s work explores the intersection of art, architecture, and mental health; a connection that many wouldn’t readily make on their own. The quotations that you selected to go along with the images for each illness are pretty spot on. They do an excellent job of enhancing the viewers understanding of the connection between Federico’s illustrations and the personal experiences of people who suffer from these particular disorders.

    How did you discover Federico’s work and what drew you to it?
