Stigma

The typographic piece took place in a long hallway, representing depression’s longevity and staying power through a patient’s lifetime. The stigmas were printed in large bold black text and the experience from patients in smaller block text because these voices from patients are frequently drowned out by conversations of an opposing party. Every inch of the passage is overwhelmingly surrounded by the constant interruptions of depression. The mirror pieces are installed to have the participants reflect on themselves; whether they have had a similar experience or had the same thoughts on others.
