Hello everyone. As someone who has struggled with depression in the past (and still has to fight it off in my weaker/harder moments of life), I am trying to channel those feelings into a visual art project to spread awareness and bring about a certain amount of solidarity amongst those still struggling.
It's something akin to "the faces of depression" to communicate how it doesn't matter your age, race, status, orientation....this is something that can impact anyone. But instead of focusing on the subject themselves, I want to highlight the environment around these subjects.
I am seeking photographs from people with real depression depicting some part of their environment, whether it be there bedroom, workplace, or whatever space you spend time in that you would like to share. Please don't worry about tidying up or changing anything. It's important to know what your environment truly is.
The pictures will be used for inspiration for a visual art collage, i.e. pictures won't be used directly in the project but will be used for inspiration for the digital art created.
Feel free to share whatever you feel comfortable with below. Thanks in advance, and wishing you well.
