Mental Health Introspect

Photography 1 class project: Capture 5 images on a topic that concerns you. The challenge of this project was to capture images in a none traditional introspective way. Mental health issues are the bumps in the road, the feeling drained and deflated. It means reaching out to a friend, a therapist, doctors, anyone that will listen and help. It takes being resilient in wanting to persist through the darkest of dark, to fight until you see the light, and come out on the other side of it. It can be a battle that is fought over and over. Just keep reaching out till you find the right person that can help. Sinkhole Drained Call for Help Deflated Resilient

* Touch - The Hand

Hugging Oneself 8 x 11 1/2" drawing, pencil and charcoal Inspiration: "Touch is so important in emotional situations that we're driven to touch ourselves in the way we'd like someone else to comfort us." Ackerman, Diane. "A Natural History of the Senses." p. 118. Statement: The physical need to touch and be touched is critical for survival. When your thoughts overwhelm you it is easy to seclude oneself and have self doubt. Those feeling are the only things you can think about. Often you may find yourself sitting in a quiet place, rocking back and forth, hugging yourself... wishing that there was someone out there who would care enough to hug you back.

Grief Cycles

Photography 1 Project: Grief Living inside a world of grief. Loss leaves you stunned, having your whole world ripped out from under you. Everything you knew and believed in is gone forever. It sets you on a path, denial, anger, emptiness. Then you come to a time that you live cautiously and ultimately detour off the path. It is a perpetual cycle, it never leaves you, even if you bury it deep within. Grief Denial Anger Weighted Emptiness Caution Detour
