Pathway to GOAT Mindset: My Mental Health Journey


Medium: Digital Illustration


In Pathway to GOAT Mindset, I use digital illustration and a printed book to express my mental health struggles and coping skills that have helped me along the way. These are coping skills I have picked up from dealing with mental health struggles throughout my lifetime.

In my work, I use a Goat as a symbol of my personal resilience and my willingness to get back up no matter what the circumstances. Throughout the book, it shows my personal experience and how uphill these struggles can be. The book itself is not linear; it’s a slow progression toward improving one’s mental health. Readers are free to interact with the fidget toys while reading through the pages.
