Description
This project shines a light on internal struggles that many of us deal with daily, yet are rarely acknowledged. On the surface people present the best version of themselves, for work, for family, for friends. Many of us have to find moments alone to process and understand our experiences. This project creates space for people and encourages normalizing sharing your struggles with others. The images are backlit with a pulsing light - acting as a metaphor that illustrates how struggles come and go from the forefront to the background unnoticeable but always lingering. The exhibition's dark lighting creates a vulnerable space for these struggles and invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences within the images. My goal for this project is to invite people to normalize talking about their struggles so everyone can get the help they deserve. NO ONE IS ALONE!
