This project is inspired by the unflinching honesty found in personal narratives. It originates from a series of intimate, private interviews with individuals who have bravely shared their experiences concerning a variety of mental health diagnoses and the real-life struggles they've encountered during times of crisis. While each interviewee's journey is unique, they are all guided by a set of carefully crafted questions designed to explore the complexities of mental health. These questions act as a gentle yet probing mirror, reflecting the raw emotions, fears, and triumphs that compose the tapestry of their stories.
Through this project, we invite viewers to step into the shoes of those who have walked this path, to view with empathy and compassion to their experiences, and to gain a unique understanding of what it means to live with mental illness. By bearing witness to these vulnerable voices, we aim to foster a deeper sense of connection and community-one that celebrates the resilience and strength that can emerge even from the darkest depths of crisis.
