Introspection.
Mental health is a state of introspection whether it be physically or internally. As humans, we explore the battle between self-love and distorted function of mind. This portfolio uses art to show the many positive and negative expressions of mental health.

Finding strength through distortion. Ignoring the lens of dysmorphia and accepting my body as what it is--every muscle, every indent, every scar.
Finding creativity even when it feels like we can't breath. Holding onto my inner spirit and letting my colors run wild even if it feels like I'm stuck in an artistic rut.
Finding introspection through our own reflection. Finally seeing myself with all my own glory and inner light. Touching my inner soul and reflection.
Finding emotions deep down and expressing them through contrast. Blind to my own emotions, yet free in the feeling of letting go. Photography allows me to hold onto each emotion no matter how strong.
Finding beauty in the most vulnerable moments. Breaking up my face into parts of equal unity, seeing the strength in black and white.
Finding your true feelings, love, and hate. Each body has a soul screaming for attention. Listening to our own eyes and body can reveal true reflection.
