Depression is when it comes to you. "I used to see the lights I felt the pain I enjoyed the darkness." In this series, Haoruo captured the weight of depression through a series of nuanced object portraits, where everyday items become metaphors for emotional states—broken glass, confined spaces, and textures echo the fragility, isolation, and intangible nature of inner paradox.
