“You Will Miss Sunrise if You Close Your Eyes” is a photography project about the importance of communities and connections for mental healing.
As a society, we've been moving further towards isolation for years, with social media replacing real interactions, and chronic busyness eroding mutual care. Our mental health is suffering as a result, and many of us lack a sense of community.
What does community mean in terms of mental health? How can we collectively help each other heal? I met with people who have used their own struggles to help others. Combining transcriptions of audio recordings from each participants, my own journal and still images, my goal is to offer a visceral, hopeful reflection, and to show how opening up about emotional pain can bring us closer to one another because wounds talk to each other.
