Looking Up

About the artist:

I’m Danielle, a photographer, writer, freelance photo editor and founder of Broken Light Collective. My challenges include bipolar depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I also struggle with insomnia, migraines, and chronic pain. Photography has been a large part of my healing journey. When I am not taking photos or hiding in my blanket cave, I most likely can be found with my partner, two incredible children, two white fluffy Samoyed dogs, and a grumpy-faced Scottish Fold cat.

About the photo(s):

Light, be it physical or spiritual, is all around us. It can be a visual light making our surroundings clear, or an indication of something getting less heavy. Light can symbolize wisdom or divine presence. It can also be an inner-light of revelation and self-discovery. 

Light can be hope. 

Sometimes it gets so dark for me, I can barely see. Then I look up. I squint and realize that light is there and has been, just in a form I didn’t recognize. In the darkest moments I need to remind myself to keep looking up. Keep. Looking. Up. 

Broken Light Collective has been a great light in my life. It went dark over the last few years while I was unable to keep up with sharing new content, but Broken Light Collective was still there, and will be shining brighter once again.

  1. Danielle I fell right into words of your reflecting about your images. It was just something I just was feeling and rolled around in it. I have been evasive in explaining some of feeling.. Sometimes it takes too much out of me to try and relate with words. I enjoy just falling into your images and finding my own tale, luring quietly in the shadows!
