My Capstone is a 50 page book documenting my 4 years at SLA through a mental health lens. I collected artwork, writing, and pictures that I felt best represented my experiences, and created new work to help tell the story. My goals in mind were:
Create a piece of work that helps people who are struggling find hope.
Create a resource for people to better understand how depressed people view the world.
Create a body of work that allows me to view the progress I’ve made over 4 years.
In the end, I created a project I’m not even comfortable with people reading, which I hope encourages people like me to open up about their experiences too.
