Travis Wright: Loneliness
Loneliness
In This Project, I wanted to dwell over the topic of mental health and cover topics on how most people struggle. Most people seek drugs or bottle up their emotions, I wanted people to know that they are not alone, let people have something they can relate to through my photos. This generation alone has a lot of people struggling with mental health problems, From Eating Disorders To Social Anxiety I wanted to cover as much as I can in 20 photos which are telling a story of what it looks like to struggle.
Loneliness and wanting to be alone are two different things and people don't always understand that. With loneliness, you tend to lose sight of yourself and slowly dissociate which can lead to seeking attention and comfort but not many people can get the help they need. With wanting to be alone people tend to take a social break and/or need time by themselves to unwind
In this art piece, I want my audience to understand there are better ways to deal with your issue than what I am trying to portray. Dealing with mental health is a struggle already but I do advise people to reach out and talk to someone If they are struggling. In this piece, I showed the other side of some people who are struggling, the overwhelming sadness and horror of how it feels to be in such a deep and distraught state of mind.
I hope with my art I can help someone understand that they aren’t alone, you aren’t weak for struggling, it’s ok if you need/get help and that you deserve to feel happy, loved and wanted. If you’re struggling please talk with someone you trust, you don’t have to fight this alone!
