Éowyn I am
'Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!'Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like
the ring of steel. 'But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me
and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.”— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Headspace
There is a strong external emphasis on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a neurodevelopmental condition that is often misunderstood and misrepresented. Many people focus on the visible symptoms and how it negatively impacts others, instead of the internal and invisible elements that affect every aspect of someone's life. ADHD is not just a 'disruptive' young boy unable to sit still during class; it comes in many faces from all walks of life.Understanding other people is a difficult task. Bridging the gap is especially difficult between people with completely different ways of experiencing the world. Headspace is an attempt to portray how I think as someone with ADHD. My brain can be wildly creative and move lightning-quick between ideas, seeing hidden connections as easily as breathing; it also flounders at the simplest tasks because there is an overwhelming amount of information and what-ifs that other people can ignore.'Everything and nothing all at once' is the best way I can describe it; the vast and wondrous expanse of the universe can also be a crushingly lonely void. Sometimes I feel like an alien visiting Earth, making my best guess at what the local humans do in order to fit in. My hope is that society will one day accept and understand those who are different, because there is beauty and freedom in embracing neurodiversity.

About
Wang Yixi (C. Wang) is a Canadian-Chinese artist physically born and raised in Toronto, and mentally living in a daydream. From a very young age, Yixi spent hours every day letting an explosive imagination run wild, expressing these thoughts through drawings and stories. Most days, the artist experiments with new ideas and techniques to appease the bored brain-gremlins constantly demanding shiny new tributes.
