The work communicates different aspects of mental illness, with each seemingly a character of its own.\u00a0The chosen work represents anxiety, as both figures are in uncomfortable poses, engulfed in the hue of bronze. Representations of mental health are usually grounded within reality, but\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Osunde<\/span><\/span>\u00a0taps into the fantastical nature of mental illness, as disorders such as anxiety distort how one perceives the world.\u00a0\u00a0Here, the\u00a0artist represents herself through these figures. The\u00a0colorful lenses are the mental illness worlds she travels through. Different emotions create different perceptions of reality, each one in its own hue.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Osunde<\/span><\/span>\u00a0is also making commentary on how through stigma, mental health issues aren\u2019t seen as real.\u00a0This photograph destigmatizes and normalizes mental illness, for encouraging viewers to talk about their mental health.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
