Alex Garant's work is a symphony of surreal, overlapping visions layered over traditional portraits. In this episode, Alex contemplates the relentless chase for a style now unmistakably hers, and the weight of burnout that shadows the pursuit. She recounts the defining moment after her heart attack in 2012—a juncture that demanded a steadfast dedication to her art, charging her work with an intensity both stark and liberating.

Her reflections urge us to strip away the facades of identity, revealing the raw interplay between the feverish drive of creativity and the elusive quest for personal peace. Alex narrates the evolution of her "Queen of Double Eyes" style, where traditional portraiture collides with graphic elements, creating a hypnotic dance of perception and reality.
