About 280 million people in the world have depression, and there is still heavy stigma surrounding the subject, making it even more important for me to cover this project as an artist. The series is inspired by the years I battled depression and each image represents fragments of living in the blue, depicting the internal world of the character anonymously. This results in an interactive experience for the viewer where they can envision themselves as the subjects in each photograph and experience the world of melancholia and reflect back on their personal experiences related to the subject.
