This piece marks the beginning of a series that delves into a journey towards mental wellness. It features a collection of disembodied heads and brains, interwoven with references to ancient Celtic practices, namely the preservation of brains in lime and the belief that disembodied heads could talk, often offering wisdom and guidance. The phrase ‘my head has fallen off’ is a personal in-joke, written at the heart of the brains to underscore moments of disarray and overwhelm. Each head embodies a chaotic blend of emotions and together represents an initial step toward healing and the hope of a brighter future.
