Who we are & why we are

Welcome to the gallery site of Broken Light Collective. We are artists of all levels and abilities who are affected by mental illness. We create and we share our work for the therapeutic benefits to us, as well as others who may be struggling and feeling scared and alone. Together we can move from disconnected to collective.

When I am depressed, hurting, or in pain, I often want to just fly away. I look out the window and dream of flapping my wings and going to another place, literally and figuratively. This photo is dark, but can be light and hopeful depending how you look at it. Sometimes it is both to me at the same time. Photo taken with a Holga camera in NYC.

    Today I see the “light” in this picture… it is beautiful as it depicts both sides.

    I love this photo for so many reasons. I can see the “lightness” and “darkness” of it. It really easy beautiful. It’s all about the eye of the beholder.

      CORRECTION: “It really IS beautiful”. I don’t know what was going on up there.
