Wrath
This piece uses mushrooms to illustrate the nature of human wrath, both as a symptom, and as a coping strategy. Mushrooms are a very literal symbol of decay, their main job being to break down dead organisms. As with any disease, mental illness also causes decay to a persons mental, physical, and developmental health. Like with fungi, however, this decay can lend itself to new life. Overcoming a mental illness requires immense strength, and those who are able to work through it leave the other side with more empathy, determination, and perspectives.
