Centered around mental health, this is a visual depiction of handling mental health with care, a topic that is often taboo or overlooked in Asian cultures. This story explores the weight and experiences that each individual carries with them—each deriving from their own unique cultures, backgrounds, and upbringing. Each vastly different, but all significant. The shoot emphasizes expression and body language to portray the juxtaposition between what we often show to the world in contrast to how we truly feel on the inside.
