​

S.A.D is a body of work that explores the mood disorder that is characterized by

depression. Seasonal affective disorder (known as S.A.D or seasonal depression) occurs with a

seasonal pattern or at the same time every year. Treatment for this disorder can include light

therapy, talk therapy, and medication. Seasonal affective disorder is a mental illness I've dealt

with for several years but only recently sought active treatment for. I wanted to use this body of

work to document the heaviness of seasonal depression and visually depict specific emotions I

experience. Through this series, I hope to initiate a conversation about S.A.D and mental illness

in the hopes of breaking down the stigma towards talking about mental health.
