Casino of Self-Harm - Red | Markers on Paper (2024) 그림 Nolan Trace 로

"This conceptual psychoart piece visualizes auto-aggression — the compulsive drive toward self-harm — as a destructive force that gradually replaces conscious will with pathological ritual.
A female figure stands on a roulette wheel, symbolizing the randomness of method: blade, scissors, or other sharp instruments. The blade is elevated — statistically the most frequent tool of self-injury. Scissors point toward the hand — the most common site of harm. Legs follow (“so my mother won’t see”), then the body (“I hate it — it’s ugly”).
The exploded head represents the neuropsychological chaos beneath self-destructive behavior — not a cry for help, but a silent survival mechanism that becomes ritualized and nearly impossible to interrupt. This is not an image of empathy — it’s a clinical allegory of compulsion, pain, and inner catastrophe, inspired by psychiatric observation and patient testimony.
The color palette is dominated by deep red — the color of pain, urgency, and internal heat. The work is entirely hand-drawn with alcohol markers on textured watercolor paper.
Perfect for collectors of psychological and conceptual art, mental health professionals, art therapists, and anyone interested in the visual language of trauma and mental disorders.
