From top to bottom; Ennui, Fatigue, Fog, Forget, Isolate, No Thanks, Withdraw
Depression is something I’ve struggled with pretty heavily on and off since adolescence. After coming out of a pretty bad depressive episode in early 2014, I used this series to explore the nuances of that experience, with each image representing a different depression symptom that feels especially pertinent to me. I attempt to translate each symptom into something somewhat surreal and abstracted, both to mirror the strangeness of these feelings when one is struggling with depression, and to focus on the larger experience of the feelings themselves rather than simply my own personal experience.
These images were made with my flatbed scanner and fish-tank-related witchcraft.
