Men rarely if every will admit that they are depressed. For some reason we find it extremely difficult to be honest about the feelings and thought that we struggle with on a day to day basis. When asked "How are you?", We lie. With emptiness in our eyes we utter, "Im, okay."
It seems that we are asked to respond to a world that is rapidly changing physically, emotionally, and environmentally. Change that is happening faster than many of us can adjust to, cope with or comprehend. As a result, it feels as if every defense we have had against severe mental health disruptions has been left vulnerable. We are being attacked and left without the resources to regulate ourselves. Out of Darkness is a collection that follows one Black man’s therapist guided journey through various stages of depression during an uncharacteristically unpredictable and grief-filled year, 2020.
Depression is lonely. Depression is darkness. Depression is wearing a mask. Depression is pressing through. Depression is messy. This art showcases what it is like to move through and acknowledge all the ways depression can show up in one's life.
