Silhouette

Photo taken by a 30+ year-old photographer who is not working much because of bipolar depression, but trying to keep shooting for the joy and healing it brings.

About this photo: “This photograph is comprised of two images that I shot at different times, during different mood states. I shot the image of the woman when I was feeling depressed, and the red light painting late one night when I was revved up and sleepless, probably hypomanic. I like the way these two come together. To me they represent a mix of emotions. There is both darkness and light, and I think depending where the viewer is coming from, it could be seen as a dark and hopeless image in which the woman is trapped in her chaos, or one that is hopeful because there is light just ahead.”
