I am a fourth-year student that studies Mental health and exploring art by photography at the University of Toronto Scarborough. I like to explore the beauty of nature and express my emotions through my photographs. Constantly looking for new inspiration and willing to learn.
The Crestfallen Blue
Emotion is like a double-edged sword that can motivate a person, meanwhile destroying one’s life. For people who live in modern society, depression is a common feeling as pressures are gained from both internal and external reasons. Being depressed is a self-contradicted phase, as constantly rejecting the help from others yet desires the help that has been provided for them, the isolation. Releasing the negative emotion for the depressed person can be a challenge, and in some cases, they see self-harming as a relief. Depression is the progression from lost motivation, isolation, self-blame, to even self-harming, and the purpose of this project is to express the feelings of depression and connect with those who have experienced it.
