The Girl In My Shower

“Gimiro’s drawing “The Girl in My Shower” is a haunting and surreal representation of a young girl standing in a black, featureless room. The girl’s body is elongated and distorted, with impossibly long limbs that stretch out towards the edges of the drawing. Her arms and legs are thin and sinewy, almost like tendrils or vines, and they seem to stretch on forever.

Despite her nakedness, the girl wears a priest collar around her throat, adding to the surreal and otherworldly quality of the drawing. Her expression is vacant and her gaze is fixed on some unseen point in the distance, as if she is lost in thought or caught up in some sort of trance.

The blackness of the room suggests that she is completely alone and isolated, with no escape from her own thoughts or the strange, dreamlike world she inhabits.

Given that Gimiro has schizotypal mental disorder, it’s likely that “The Girl in My Shower” is a product of his own delusional visions. The distorted, nightmarish quality of the drawing reflects the artist’s own struggles with mental illness and the ways in which it distorts his perception of reality.“
