Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a psychological disorder characterised by obsessive or intrusive thoughts and compulsions or rituals meant to suppress or satiate those thoughts. These obsessions and compulsions are difficult to suppress and can significantly interfere with a person's quality of life. One OCD comorbidity is bipolar disorder. OCD often does not emerge until early adulthood. Watching compulsions emerge in oneself is both surreal and frustrating. I cannot help but notice that one compulsion, the need to make lists, can create a beautiful piece of visual work that bath relieves the compulsion and manages the guilt of wasting time and resources on such a futile task. #sofiandejong #sketchbookproject #visualart #obssessivecompulsivedisorder #ocd #artistsoninstagram (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPyTYqZj8fg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sunday Sketchbook Project Update! This page is a representation of a page can be found in every sketchbook I’ve owned since ungrad- a page of nail polish samples 💅🏼 Instead of sampling all my polish like I normally do, I narrowed it down to my top 15 💕 @thesketchbookproject @brooklynartlibrary #sofiandejong #thesketchbookproject #nailpolish #top15 #favorite #artistsoninstagram #sunday (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaQKByDoA0/?igshid=1o6rutmjxcqqz

Participating in @thesketchbookproject by the @brooklynartlibrary has inspired me to share some of my old art. A few years ago I found this in my dad's basement- my sketchbook from 2010! In 2010 I was 13 years old and attending Lyford Cay International School in The Bahamas 🇧🇸 My time at LCIS was an influential part of my development as an artist, from the emphasis on creative writing, music, and studio arts that permeated the school to the freedom afforded to students by the excellent teachers and mentors we were so lucky to have 📓 🎼 🎨 As I work on my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project, I will also be sharing pages of my sketchbook from 2010! @lcis_dragons @visitthebahamas #sofiandejong #thesketchbookproject #brooklynartlibrary #lcis #lyfordcayinternationalschool #thebahamas #art #artistsoninstagram #throwback (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMU_famD02_/?igshid=1bq3xb7qkuu8a

#day10 of the #10dayartchallenge ! Today's post is a series of both intentional and unintentional self-portraits done throughout the years, starting in 2014. As my view of myself has improved I have become more comfortable with depicting myself in my work, but I also believe that depicting myself in my work has helped improve how I view myself. I encourage others to practice viewing themselves through the eyes of an artist- you'll find that an artist's eyes find beauty in everything. #sofiandejong #artistsoninstagram #selfportrait (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2cfedDtxw/?igshid=yuzgx06ztn94
