Behind the crashing waves are calm seas

To me, mental health is managing and watching your own thoughts like passing cars. Sometimes thoughts can take over but there will always be calm seas behind the crashing waves that come and go. A self portrait exists as a portrayal of a second pair of eyes a new perspective on mental being. Through the survey we conducted we found responses of mental health being the potential to ‘engage positively with the world’ and ‘ self-sufficiency to deal with waves of ups and downs’. In this sense the individual appears empowered and stable despite these waves, noting down the feelings and challenges along the way.
