Artist Development Bursary – Flow

How do we find purpose and joy in the chaos of existence?

Exploring happiness, existence and struggle.

This work investigates the importance of human perception, addressing the psychology of happiness through Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of the state of ‘Flow’. Flow is an optimal experience where enjoyment is found through the act of concentration and self-investment.
