The Emotions of Covid

After my mental health hitting an all time low over the 2021/22 Christmas/New Year period I embarked on a mini project to dissect my mental emotional and to try and capture those feelings with my camera and special effects makeup. Taking the photograph was only really one third of the job, editing the image to emphasise the despair and then authoring captions that pulled apart my thoughts around why I might be feeling like I was being the other two thirds. The creative project has snapped me out of my deep seated grief and life is a little lighter having acknowledged why I feel the way I do and with others reaching out to say I am not alone in my state.
