Why Am I Sad

Dana Stirling

In Why Am I Sad, Dana Stirling embarks on an exploration of the complex interplay between mental health and artistic expression in associative, poetic photographs. 'Growing up, I spent most of my time in my room, wherein loneliness pervaded both within and beyond its walls. Family failed to provide solace; instead, it became a source of stress, anxiety, and a prevailing sadness. Often unspoken in my family, my mother's battle with clinical depression cast a shadow that took years to fully comprehend.' Through navigating her own emotions, the project assumes a broader cultural significance, transcending personal narratives to engage with universal discourse on mental health. The visual diary becomes a testament to the transformative power of art, revealing layers of vulnerability, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of meaning.
