FinishedThe psyche is the totality of the human mind, body and soul. It is what drives you to feel, to respond and to create. These emotions are in every art piece whether they are feelings that are unknowingly rooted deep inside you or fuel to the fire that has long inspired you.
With this call for entry we are asking for artwork that centers around the psyche, dealing with mental states from love, infatuation and happiness to mental disorders, fears and phobias. The human mind is a complicated beast and we invite you to give us a glimpse of yours.
