Mirror of Sublimation

This Mirror shows

This is an attempt to understand the act of ‘sublimation’ itself. In psychology, it refers to the process through which one not only copes with but also conquers all adversities that one is faced with. Whenever we speak of people who have or have had any mental health conditions, learning disabilities, neurodivergence, or are perhaps just different, we often hyper-fixate on What Went Wrong. Through this initiative, I want to shift that focus onto What Went Well.

I want to showcase what these people can give, rather than what they lack. My experiences of speaking to all these special people have inspired me in many ways each time. And so, I hope you find the inspiration to sublimate through your own adversities after reading their stories.
