school project

My class was on people with mental health concerns in the er-we had to do a photo representation and this is what we did:
I really like what we did :)





The caption reads:

Stigma: Mental Health in Emergency Rooms

Voicelessness, lack of political will and fear

The larger photo represents the lack of power and voicelessness. The view is one of the person behind the seclusion room window, looking outwards towards the open door-going anywhere is unattainable. The words on the window are faint and no one outside of the room is listening.

The smaller picture represents both the suffering of the patient and themes of mental illness. Judgement of society and the health system represented by the red hospital cross. The person is alone.

Ideally we would have been able to place the cross visible in the other room, so that the pictures were combined.
