Thompson's work explores the potential futures of mental well-being through a critical lens, challenging conventional understandings and prompting viewers to question their own perceptions. By weaving together seemingly disparate elements – the traditions of global cuisines, the limitless possibilities of science fiction, and the inherent fragility of ephemeral substances – Thompson creates speculative scenarios that act as mirrors, reflecting the often-unseen complexities of the human psyche. The focus is not on providing solutions, but on fostering a space for uncomfortable yet necessary dialogues about the intangible realities of mental states. These investigations are rooted in a deep understanding of cultural semiotics and the power of narrative to shape our understanding of the world. The ultimate goal is to disrupt the complacency of accepted norms and encourage a more nuanced, empathetic perspective on the multifaceted experiences of mental wellness within hypothetical future societies.
