PROJECT
Depression is a serious mental illness shrouded in misunderstandings, often brushed off by others as a "bad day", being sad and unmotivated. I would like to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon, the perception and discernment of depression in the eye of the general public as well as personal stories of individuals experiencing or experienced depression through this art project.
Sharing your stories
Trying to explain how you feel or open up to someone may not be easy for fear of not being understood. How would you describe a depressive episode, a certain memory, perhaps even include certain metaphors, imagery, color, music that relates to your strong emotions and distress.
Share your deep thoughts here anonymously so that you can vent them off.
Outcome of submission
The narratives shared will be will be contributed to this student art project, while the outcome has yet to be decided, I hope it will be able to provide a better understanding on the thoughts and feelings of people dealing with depression through an interactive art, an experience that evokes and communicates the experience of depression. Thank you for your participation in this project.
Thank You for Sharing Your Stories
Thank you to those of you who were willing to open up and share your personal experience.
A virtual reality interpretation of the shared narratives will be created to raise awareness on depression by allowing others to get an insight on how it "feels" to have depression. Screenshots of the final work will be shared on this site.
