Date: July 27, 2014 I live with/have bipolar disorder. The worst part of the catastrophic cycle for me is, of course, the long intervals of depression that follow my extreme manias. This photo is an attempt to recreate the feel of a Rembrandt painting while expressing just how those episodes feel.

“To suffer is one thing; another thing is living with the photographed images of suffering, which does not necessarily strengthen conscience and the ability to be compassionate. It can also corrupt them. Once one has seen such images, one has started down the road of seeing more - and more. Images transfix. Images anesthetize.”
