What Does The Numbers Mean?

“The drawing “What Does the Numbers Mean?” by artist Gimiro is a striking image that captures the viewer’s attention immediately. The drawing features a set of stairs that ascend into the upper part of the page, leading to a floor that appears to be an eye staring down at the viewer.

The title of the drawing, “What Does the Numbers Mean?”, refers to the tendency of people with schizophrenia or schizotypal mental disorder to search for meaning in numbers. This is a common symptom of the disorder, which can cause paranoia and delusions of grandeur.

The drawing is deeply symbolic, representing the artist’s struggle with their own mental health. The stairs are a metaphor for the journey that people with mental illness must take to reach a state of mental wellness. The eye above the stairs represents the scrutiny and judgment that people with mental illness often feel from society.

The drawing also speaks to the artist’s own experiences with paranoia. The eye looking down on the viewer may represent the sense of being constantly watched or monitored that people with the disorder often feel.“
