Title: Putting on a Brave Face

"Our world has become emotionally disconnected. Through social media we are projecting a reality that we control, allowing people to see only the positive moments of our life that we wish to portray. These moments are then artificially enhanced through filters and special effects overlaid on the image, building upon this false projection of their identity.

‘Putting on a Brave Face’ is a visual interpretation of the emotional and psychological state that is all too commonly hidden. Depression unfortunately holds an air of stigma making people find it extremely hard to speak about, masking their true emotional state behind a positive projection of themselves."
