PSYRAW FLUX: psychological rawness in real time. The rot before it’s processed. The cringe before it’s rationalized. The thought before it’s presentable.

Not healing. Not healed. The slippage between.

I write the internal dialogue that eats itself, the craving held suspended, the illegible cuts, the synesthetic rewrite of my favorite rapper’s lyrics, the moment you choose to keep watching, the chilling exploration of compulsive madness.

Just flux.

“What I enjoy in a narrative is not directly its content or even its structure, but rather the abrasions I impose upon the fine surface: I read on, I skip, I look up, I dip in again.” Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text

THE WRITER

Coraline Mengdie Zhou works at the intersection of psychology, education, and visual art culture. She has worked across university, gallery, art education agency, and NGO contexts—places where people try to articulate their inner worlds using language that never quite fits.

She knows all the right terminology for what’s happening in her head. PSYRAW FLUX is where she uses none of it.
