Hallucinogene, 2022, from 'Hollywood Nightmares' by Raphaël Neal - "This is a homage to a beautiful 1940s Kodachrome photograph of Gene Tierney. She was a femme fatale who started acting very young, despite problems she had with her mental health. Tierney struggled with intense episodes of depression and anxiety, during which she sometimes had hallucinations. This inspired me to portray her as an Ophelia-esque creature being asked to keep still while hallucinating rats all around her. She was one of the very first people in showbusiness to talk openly about depression and mental illness"
