Gloomy Times
Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect our thoughts, behaviours, feelings and sense of well-being. When we're depressed we might feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, worried, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, hurt, or restless. Once pleasurable activities lose their attraction, we find it hard to concentrate, experience loss of appetite or overeat, and can't remember details, or make decisions.
When I started talking to models, asking them to express their thoughts about depression to camera, I had no idea of the rich body of images that would emerge. These galleries, Gloomy Times, are their interpretations, not necessarily their experiences of depression.
