In this thesis I seek try understand our need to work for mental stability as much as economic security. I investigate the matter through my personally live experiences and the considerations these experiences have provoked. The art works I have made for this thesis(21 in total) are all visual exploration of subjects such as: employment, unemployment, occupation, melancholy, dangers in being naive of threat, hazards and warnings.

The theme of my art component, and my thesis writing, is related to our constant draw towards being occupied, and I simply ask is this healthy or a sign of fear, or even illness.

I gradually accept that there is no clear answer and I explore this ambiguity all the more so as now I see the need for visual investigation before the verbal.
