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.

The principle of repetition is seen in the large wooden fan splayed open on the floor. The focal point of the piece...

Intertwined - Grief and Hope

2D Project - create an image using 2 objects in various sizes to simulate foreground and background fading out of view. For this project I used two Willow Tree sculptures created by artist Susan Lordi to compose my project. As a military widow these two sculptures hold significant meaning. The foreground is composed of more Hero statues as it signifies more of the immediate grief after suffering loss. As you move toward the middle there is hope and grief mixed together. The background contains more hope then grief as you begin to find yourself again and move forward in your journey. Willow Tree Sculptures Hero and Soar Hero sculpture shadowed from various angles
