Unraveling Life’s Threads Through Art and Words

Where Story and Image Become One

Emotive Fusion Art is the heartbeat of Poetic Bipolar Mind.
It’s the meeting point where written word and visual art merge—not as separate entities that simply sit side by side, but as two intertwined voices telling the same story.

Created through the collaboration of Kiana Jimenez (writer, poet, and founder of Poetic Bipolar Mind) and David White (illustrator and co-creative partner), Emotive Fusion Art transforms individual works into multi-sensory narratives.

In this space, a poem is never just a poem—and an illustration is never just an image.

Each piece is constructed so that language and imagery deepen, echo, and illuminate one another, creating an emotional experience that lingers.

Our Mission

At Poetic Bipolar Mind, we transform pain into purpose and silence into expression. Founded by writer and mental health advocate Kiana Jimenez, our platform is both a personal archive of survival and a public sanctuary for resilience.

We exist to give voice to what is often left unsaid—the struggles of mental health, the weight of grief, the contradictions of love, identity, and survival. Through confessional poetry, reflective essays, and evocative illustrations by Dave White, we create a space where vulnerability is honored and emotional truth becomes art.

The Heart of PBM

Breaking stigma and creating conversations that heal.

Honoring love, mourning absence, and finding meaning in remembrance.

Transforming struggle into strength and scars into survival.

Preserving the brief, eternal light of parenthood and exploring love and loss.

Seeking wisdom in silence, faith, and the unseen.

Confronting contradictions without romanticizing or silencing them.

Using words and imagery as vessels of survival, reflection, and transformation.

Transform pain into purpose.

Deconstruct stigma and silence.

Heal through literature, reflection, and visual art.

Preserve a living testimony of survival, grief, and identity.

Poetic Bipolar Mind: where survival becomes art, and even the darkest story finds its light.

    Math isn’t just for classrooms—it’s everywhere in our daily decisions. From saving money to comparing job offers, functions and graphs quietly guide how we plan, spend, and grow. By viewing life as a series of inputs and outputs, we unlock smarter choices and deeper awareness of our journey.

    Persuasive media shapes how we view technology—but what happens when flawed reasoning drives the narrative?

  • Identity, Love, and the Courage to Be

    Tanya Savory’s “Stepping into the Light” is more than a coming-out story—it is a journey of identity, faith, and resilience.
