For “jungleman” week I chose to embody Adonis, giving myself fully to what his thoughts, feelings and antics might be as he prepared for this suicidal swan song in an artificially elated state. Filtering in with increasing intensity was an earnest portrayal of a persona in full-blown mania as imagined by the hypomanic version of myself. I used both as a means to give myself permission to lean into my neuroses, aggressively blasting myself all over the social media “$hitspace” as a darkly humorous and cynical commentary on the state of the nation, relentlessly documenting my life. This experiment rapidly turned into a compulsive obsession.
