Welcome Home explores distinctive individuals and our relationship to mental health with experiences of anxiety and depression. Each series is compiled from multiple photo sessions of vulnerability, trust, and respect. The creation of an image is dependent on negotiation between subject and photographer to define or make visible states of mental health.
I use a variety of cameras and their eccentric characteristics and abnormal methods that parallel the challenges of visually describing an internal state of being. From technically proficient equipment to the amateur quality of plastic cameras, it remains a question of whether hard physical description on an insinuation of a presence best describes our mental health.
