Augmented Reality

I have been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. With all the medication changes and doses, my brain is in a fight with itself. Through photographic manipulation, I am able to augment my perception of reality within my images. By taking the mundane surroundings I see every day and creating new possibilities for these environments, I am able to escape into more surreal spaces. With the use of orbs and portals, I can expand my version of the world into unique possibilities. Combining some of my images with those of close family or friends, I am able to connect myself to them over a great distance. By connecting with family and close friends I am able to take myself out of a negative headspace, and allow them to help when the anxiety or depression is too much.
