After going through a rough patch I became inspired to create a series based around turmoil & mental illness. The first inspiration of the series was ‘Lost’ (the top image) to represent the directionless haze I felt myself trapped in at the time. It would eventually (and ironically) become a way for me to get my mojo back and kickstart creative collaborations with other creatives who had similar experiences and sought a cathartic outlet for.
