I chose this category because I’ve suffered from mental health problems. To me it was really scary feeling what i was feeling alone which caused me to almost hide and neglect my feelings as well as self worth. I love how directing change decided to add this as the monthly prompt because it’s something I’m passionate about. With the isolation everyone has felt during covid i believe it’s essential to spread awareness about this issue. Another thing that really impacted my art piece was the idea of adding a positive note. Instead of just showing something depressing I wanted to add something(like the green ribbon metaphor) in a way that’s up beat and helpful.
