“The Blue Years,” is inspired by the years I battled depression. Around 300 million people in the world have depression, and there is still heavy stigma surrounding the subject, making it even more important for me to cover this project as an artist. In this series each image represents fragments of living in the blue, depicting the internal world of the character anonymously. This results is an interactive and personal experience for the viewer where they can envision themselves as the subjects photographed, experience the world of melancholia and reflect back on their personal experiences.
