"Touching from a distance, further every time." - Joy Division

Taken at my school, my subject yearns to escape his depressive state, but yet, the shadows over power him, restricting him. Because mental illness is frequently overlooked in high school students, my work represents a student's struggles in facing a mental illness. With my work, I hope to create an awareness of the struggles many students face.
My photo relates to the theme "Investigation" because my subject is searching for his raison d'être.
