Broken Light Collective

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.

The Dark Days

the-dark-days

Photo taken by contributor Michael Ross, a 57-year-old man from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Michael has struggled with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder for most of his life. Photography helps him deal with the daily struggles, but sometimes becomes a battle of perfectionism.

About this photo: “I took this photo on a very dark day by a lake last year, and looking back on it now I see that it was nothing more than clouds that eventually passed just like my depression.”

Find more from Michael at his blog.

    Michael, great sky. I used to live in the southwest and the skies just amazed me. Now I am in East TX and the sky is blocked by trees and red necks. Life just kind of sucks. Thanx for the view.

      The best way to get around that is to get up early. I just got lucky this time.

    In the ‘reduced’ version you see only one bird flying and then when you open up the site you see many – that is humanity and I am on the waves below you waiting to greet you

      I see three in the air and four over the water but one is all I needed. I usually give them bread so they pose for me.

    Stunning photo where something about it makes it rise out above the ordinary of such images.
