Words are important; the words we tell ourselves and the words we express to others. This series highlights the complexities and differences between spoken words, thoughts we have, and statements made in obligatory settings. This work deconstructs the nuances behind words; exposing a much fuller explanation of emotions felt, but less likely disclosed. In our digital world, communication is cut short, meaningful conversation is lost, and acronyms or key phrases become the empty facade of socialization. In this series I explore the intricacies of mental health and communication that go far deeper than the black and white context in which they are most often presented.
