Mental Health

These two pieces focus on both anxiety and depression. “Trepidatious Thoughts” is the first graphic design I created in this subject. I wanted it to emulate what those who struggle with anxiety could experience every day. It shows that on the outside it may look like everything is perfect, while within the mind there is a storm of chaos constantly trying to fight its way out. “Melancholic Shades of Blue” is similar. This piece is meant to show that depression is so much more than just being sad. It shows how those who struggle with depression often feel as though there is a weight on their shoulders, that they are lost and have no idea who they are anymore. It shows that everything around them seems dull and the feeling of hopelessness.
