This is my personal 2021 project. I have wanted to create illustrations to represent mental health ever since my Alzheimer's project for my final major project in University. I love creating imagery to represent thoughts and feelings that are hard to describe, and I hope that these images help people to understand a little bit better.

'Overthinking'
This represents a scrambled mind. Too many thoughts or ideas and trying to cater to everyone. Overthinking, perfectionism, overanalysing and not being able to escape it.

'Something is Growing'
To me. this image represents something a little more positive. I feel like it represents growth and development through time, struggle and hard work. Rooting yourself in the 'now' and being mindful.

'I'm Somewhere Else'
To me, this image represents getting lost in your own ruminating thoughts, a busy mind that sweeps you away or your mind taking over your own self.
