Animal Symbolism for Mental States is a psychology-inspired illustration series that visualizes different emotional and mental states through animal metaphors. Presented as a collection of flashcards, each design pairs a psychological concept—such as anxiety, resilience, isolation, or adaptation—with an animal whose traits and behaviors symbolically reflect that experience.

Combining illustration, psychology, and cognition, the series transforms complex inner experiences into simple and recognizable visual forms. Each card functions as both a symbolic artwork and a tool for personal reflection, inviting viewers to interpret and connect with their emotions from a new perspective.
