‘The Way Social Media Make Me Feel’ explores dark matters in bright depictions. Poor mental health doesn’t only come in forms of wearing all black and sad faces.
For social media in particular, we tend to put on a happy face and only show our best self to the world constantly portraying happiness and wealth with editing and angles, staging situations and only showing the good times. These photos are about what that feels like to stage joy when you’re maybe not feeling your best.
