In Australia, around one in five people will experience a mental illness at some stage of their life, including alcohol or other substance abuse disorders. In extreme cases, mental illness can be debilitating, affecting all areas of a person’s life from employment, to relationships, to everyday functioning.
Every image taken represents a certain mood of where a person is at a mental state of mind. Below are written a few to accompany the images:
- blending in the environment. feeling of not being here. Being invisible and meaningless. Everything feels grey and flat.
- reaching higher feeling that i can take on the world. I am invincible and i have this vast grandiose beliefs i have special powers
- security: unfolding into our existence. Being safe and protected by the environment embrace by a darker space
- conversations with myself: confused about what the next step is to do. I can’t think properly. Get out of my head.
- self-loathing: strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt. Harshly criticising yourself for perceived faults and mistakes
- patterns connecting words, recent thoughts and recent experiences and linking everything together, trying to make sense of it all.
- polarities: belonging on the north and south barrier, belonging here and nowhere. Being and nothingness. Je vie done je sues in this infinite universe.
- rehearsing conversation out loud, it’s like voices in my head that just can’t stop talking what i should do and what i shouldn’t do. Just get out of my head.
- the heaviness of my thoughts are getting too much. I can’t carry this load anymore. Wish it all was clear and light.

Facades are the envelope of the building, it is what we all see as the exterior part of the construction.
“If you look at the buildings, you’ll find that one part looks as if it was designed by one man, and you go around and look at another facade and it looks as if it was designed by another man, you see. “ Minoru Yamasaki
