I used to suffer from melancholia, but have since recovered. The healing process impacted me so deeply. I wanted to express the experience through a series of self-portraits. By using hand-made processes, I tell my true feelings between depression and me.

The project is divided into four parts to provide a narrative for the melancholia experience: how melancholia starts, how it affects people, and how to avoid situations and feelings of depression. This project has not only continued my personal growth, but also encourages others to understand, help, and heal those in need.
