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.

Photo taken by contributor Ali, a 40-year-old father of two from London who was diagnosed last year with Anxiety and Depression. He is an author, a carpenter, and an occasional accountant.

About this photo: “This one is called Atomistic –  We don’t live in a vacuum. Our interactions with others affect them, and affect us. Sometimes it would be nice to bounce through interactions without feeling anything, and perhaps more importantly by not hurting others. When the darkness is most acute we can damage those around us badly, the guilt gives our darkness a self perpetuating weight and momentum.”

    Really cool pictures, the blue is really beautiful against the glass (assuming it is glass). Interesting description as well.

    Thanks for sharing,
