For this talk, aAron will present his journey of using art to make sense of the world and address the existential concerns that haunted him as a child. This journey has involved the creation of a body of work that has taken him to the ends of the earth and to the innermost depths of a mind that has, at times, struggled to find a way forward. Through the act of creation and curiosity toward the darker aspects of self, aAron has created work that invites us to embrace the unknown and reminds us that we are not alone.
In this talk, you will learn:
- How creativity can be a source of connection and meaning-making.
- How curiosity can invite us to ask difficult questions and be vulnerable.
- How we can become advocates for improved mental health by being open about our own experiences and questioning the world we collectively create.
