Hoarding Disorder – Grey & Swamp Green | Markers on Paper (2025) Resim Nolan Trace tarafından

This symbolic surrealist drawing portrays Hoarding Disorder – a recognized psychiatric condition listed in the DSM-5 and ICD-11. The central fragmented human figure sits in lotus pose, surrounded by excessive clutter. Toxic vapors rise from the body, symbolizing the stench and decay often found in hoarded living environments.

A swamp green labyrinth unfolds in the background, illustrating the overwhelming chaos created by compulsive accumulation. Floating knives above the figure reflect the defensive aggression often shown by hoarders when others attempt to remove their "valued" items.
The muted grey and green palette reflects stagnation, neglect, and psychological entrapment.

This piece is part of the Atlas of Madness series – a collection of psychiatric illustrations exploring mental illness through conceptual surrealism.
