It is an interpretation of depression through the art of photography. My photographs explore my own experiences with this invisible disease. They represent the torment and pain that I navigate with major depression. This body of work acts as a visual diary about a depressive patient that I created as a photographer. Photographing and editing this project is also how I find a productive way to communicate with the outside world. The purpose of my work is to help those who may be indirectly impacted by depression to understand mental illness more comprehensively and establish an accurate portrayal of this genuine concern. My photos serve as an invitation to viewers to raise awareness and support for the people around them who struggle with this widespread issue.
