After performing a compulsion, you typically feel safe and life goes back to normal.

Obsessive Cycles of Fiber is an AI art project inspired by my journey of recovery from an OCD diagnosis. Since being diagnosed I’ve learned how underdiagnosed and poorly stigmatized this disorder is. My intention with this art project is to spread awareness about this disorder, destigmatize it, and help people get the support they need.
