Trapped in the Mind
This series was directly inspired by a song entitled "Yellow Light" by the band Of Monsters and Men. I aimed to create an otherworldly dreaminess with a strong sense of light, as well as somewhat ambiguous symbolism. The song can be interpreted in many different ways, so I wanted my photos to have that affect as well. Still, I personally feel that it is about a person losing touch with concrete reality and being stuck in his or her own mind, worries, daydreams, or imagination. Due to my passion for mental illness awareness, I also view these photos as the start of my interest to bring attention to the inner struggles of millions of people all over the world, which often get ignored or overlooked.
