This project is an exploration of identity and its loss through the lens of depression and anxiety. It is grounded in vulnerability as internal feelings are externally represented, open to imposed judgement.
Compositing, layering, and filtering techniques are used to obscure, modify, and disrupt a single portrait in a series of iterations.
I use repeated textual elements across each frame to narrate the image in a way that describes that experience; where one might indicate the feeling of emptiness or isolation, another might highlight the feeling of being buried or overloaded.
These experiences are not unique, and neither is the portrait used as a base for all the pieces, but each image speaks synonymously.
