The Inner Struggles Series
A series based on various mental illness, a tribute to the hardships of those affected. I'd always been intrigued, but also very sorry and empathic to mind diseases in this series. Hopefully, the pieces did the people undergoing such trials justice.
All pieces were included in my graduation exhibition in January of 2014 from The One Academy.
