Overview

"This speculative Gothic Sci-fi project is meant to analyze the psychological consequences of generational and familial trauma and critique the state of contemporary mental health when dealing with repression and inner conflict through perceived and speculative spirituality, with themes and concepts derived and inspired by notable psychologist Carl G. Jung. The narrative follows Sophia, who is introduced to groundbreaking therapeutic technology and chronicles her and her family members' final days while dealing with a haunting and vengeful shadow-entity with themes and hints toward rationalized self-deception and cognitive dissonance and the repercussions of unresolved inner conflict, insecurities, and post-traumatic stress. Initially, Sophia represses her trauma and vital elements of her personality, including her tribulations of motherhood, creating subconscious personas. The narrative ends with her appreciation for her loved ones, learning to accept every part of herself, becoming one with her personas, and fulfilling a state of individuation." -- Abstract
