For the past few years I've struggled with anxiety, to the extent that medication was needed. It got to the point where it seemed to be taking over my life. In my thesis I wanted to share my personal struggle, and the struggle of family and friends. I want to share what anxiety is like, how it makes us feel. This is shown through the text of over used sayings, or a single word that explains how anxiety makes the subject feel. I want this to relate to an unrelatable audience, one who does not struggle with anxiety to have them understand our story. I also wish to share with others who suffer with this type of mental illness to show they're not alone. I want to create a dialogue between my photos and the viewer, and have them look closely & analyze the small text represented in the photos.
