The way we perceive our world is affected by masses, both physical and emotional, that operate like gravity, pulling our attention to it, forever altering the way we interact with the world around us. Hello, Sunshine draws from Einstein’s theory of relativity, exploring the gravity of depression.
30 photographs taken over 30 days of in depth journaling capture the fluctuation of how I experience depression. Even on my best days, where the world appears most vivid and colorful, depression is ever-present, a force physically seen in each picture-- depression visually mimicked through altering my camera. The poems attached to this series attempt to offer observers another avenue, representing a broader spectrum of time to make what is an ethereal, enduring experience concrete, tangible, and most importantly human.
