Unusually creative individuals face fear, punishment, and social exclusion due to their ability to instigate change which is not always welcomed.

There is a shared origin between mental disorder and very high creativity [6]; they are both perceived and felt in a similar manner by those who experience them first hand.

The first stage of creation is where a large number of observations, information, thoughts, ideas, and even emotions appear from this chaos as order is created.

The relationship between tremendous creative achievement and some aspects of mental illnesses is that people with these disorders perceive things in a different way.

Gregory Maass & Nayoungim collect objects and ideas eclectically, disassemble them and then reassemble them in a way that gives birth to unforeseen, and outré results.

They formulated two more methods of production: Psychobuilding[11], and Orificing[12], engendering collative properties, such as complexity, surprisingness, incongruity, ambiguity, and variability.

Relationships Do Not Exist is among the more iconic, philosophically astute and visually humorous works that Gregory Maass & Nayoungim have created.
