Anorexia nervosa

Weston-super-Mare - England - United Kingdom

The Weston-super-Mare university Special effect HMUA students did join into my mental health project called The Mental Health Photographer. Every student had to analyse a mental health issue/mental ill health/mental health disorder and they had to create their own interpretation, using their learned skills, to build up and represent their subjects. From the raw materials, I have created digital photography artworks. The aim of the mental health project is to raise awareness, transfer knowledge and understanding about mental health to gain acceptance and encourage the viewers to support people who live with mental ill health. This piece represents Anorexia Nervosa, a very serious eating disorder. This condition can affect anyone in any age, regardless of their gender. Sadly, it's mostly women who get the attention (if), though men are under the same danger. Even more, as they're going undiagnosed for a very long time.
