The "Echoes" project is a personal visual story about mental well-being and how the perception of reality depends on my mental well-being. The way we perceive external stimuli results directly from our internal balance or lack of this balance. My lack of balance results from long-term depression, which I have been suffering from for 9 years. The sequence of events and reactions of my body led me to perpetuate the disease, which I am still getting used to and which continues. I am looking for myself, which I sometimes forget and sometimes lose. And I need to get back to myself, to be just fine.
