“When we’re asked how we’re doing, many of us respond with ‘I’m fine,’ when in reality, we’re not. This is from a new series of self-initiated portraits that was created to connect compassionately with those around us and raise awareness for mental health. I worked with a special effects makeup artist to create the tattoos, and the talent chose the descriptive words. I am still looking for the right mental-health partner to bring these to the public eye.”
