About bad object.

In psychology, a bad object is an internal figure formed early, shaped by frustration, absence, misunderstanding, or unmet need. A presence that carries fear, anger, shame, or longing, and quietly influences how we see ourselves and others.

Bad Object takes its name from that idea.

This project treats inner life as material. Art has always done this better than explanation. It gives shape to what is felt but not easily spoken, and makes private experience shareable without turning it into a personal story.

Bad Object is interested in that space.
Where insight meets instinct.
Where discomfort becomes legible.
Where something internal is turned outward, not to be fixed, but to be held.

Some pieces are dark. Some are silly. Some are just satisfying shapes and ideas.

We hope something here resonates. If not, go buy a cat t-shirt. Just kidding, we sell those too.
