The idea here was to raise awareness with Gen Z to get them to start a conversation about their mental health with friends, family, colleagues or even Mind. An explosion of any sort is only because a limit that shouldn’t have been reached, was reached. Be that with us or anything else in the universe. The one way for us to not reach that limit is by talking, if we don’t have that we keep bottling and collecting it all up until we are bound to explode, as a lot of us have. The world would be such a better place if people just talked, right? This is why I designed, “Talk openly, with your mind” to help people around us start talking.
This is a pack of 10 “Just in Case – in need of a conversation” postcards and a poster series. I focused on the most prevalent issues such as anxiety and overthinking.
Most conversations never happen because we are too nervous or anxious to approach the other person, the postcards help with that. They all have a conversation starter on them along with a little message on the back for you to say whatever you want, maybe to someone you know or just yourself.
The posters are a collection of photos I took of people around me as their most
authentic self, and while speaking to them I tried to capture gestures and movements they showed when asked about the uneasy moments of their life. This was just to be able to give a visual representation of the normality of these issues because such gestures are made by millions of people every day, so not talking about the same issues is not okay. I wanted my photos to speak to people and grip them into thinking, acknowledging and talking about mental health with others and with themselves.
The aim here is to let people know they are not alone, it happens to everyone and that is okay, it is okay to feel this way.
“9 out of 10 people think it is important to talk about mental health” was the fact I was
interested in, so for the 9 people out there who think it’s okay to talk about
mental health this is their push to start talking about it, be it about their own mental health or someone they know.
