The Sand That Makes the Pearl
My imagery explores loss and longing, memory and nostalgia, womanhood and aging. I have now turned to a somewhat forbidden topic, my personal experience of depression. It runs beneath, above, around, and through me. It's like drowning while knowing how to swim.
Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feeling of sadness. It is an inner voice that torments me. It shouts and whispers. It hides sometimes, and sometimes goes quiet. But its shadow lurks, foretelling its eventual return. It is what has been given to me and I live with it. I sing and dance with it. I dream and sleep with it. I create and photograph with it.
