It is strange… strange and a little uncomfortable, the art of Justin Novak. In his own words he explains it like this:
‘Whereas the figurine has historically represented the dominant culture’s norms and ideals, the dis-figurines speak of the damage inflicted by those very same expectations.’
To me, this is of course linked to my self-harm problem, but in general… expectations hurt. Expectations damage. And society… society is nothing but expectations.

About quantumphysica
My name is QuantumPhysica The Insane, but you can call me QP. I am insane, admitted to a mental hospital in Belgium, and waiting for a decent diagnosis at the moment. Once I was a physics student with goals in life and what more; now I'm simply the patient of Room 93.
Ever wondered what life is like in the psychiatric ward? I'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know...
I am... particularly twitchy of personality. But I also am genuinely interested in everything. There is nothing that doesn't interest me, really. Everything, from quantum computers to fashion and cars to traveling...
I also give advice. On anything. No taboos whatsoever.
And I make lists of things...
AMAZING!
Wow, this is kind of beautiful, uncomfortable and disturbing at the same time! It makes me think of self harm too 🙂
