"You are not Alone"
The purpose this series of photographs are to raise awareness and reduce the negative stigma around mental illness and suicide. For this series, I depicted abandoned buildings as a symbolic representation of the human psyche. Furthermore, I photographed a requiring symbol of a teddy bear as a representation of the 'lonely, forgotten child.’ The series also includes quotes from poets, musicians and artists who describe mental illness. These quotes relate to the photographs as a reminder of hope. For more info about mental health awareness or if you seek support: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/ https://www.headspace.org.au/
