Short Reflection
Affecting people in different manners, depression is a mental health issue over 5% of the population face. I have faced days where it seems everything is “bland” and I dont seem to fit. It is weird to say but the next day could be perfectly 180 and it would be as if the darkness was never there. I came about them through my own experiences as well as talking to my friends. I was able to discuss with some of them about the different instances where they have faced severe depression and I tried to portray them. Each picture aimed to show a different effect of depression on a persons vision. Though each individual person may not experience the same effects, these are the most common among those with depression. Perceiving colors as greys, sensitivity to light, painful/strained eyes, increased amount of eye floaters (spots that float across your eye), mildly blurred vision, and watery eyes.
