Narrative

• The story begins with the main character showing feelings of

remorse in front of his victims. Being too late to go back in the past and change his wrongs, he is searching for forgiveness and someone to confess his sins to.

• He considers drowning his sorrows in alcohol, but He realizes

this is not a way to forget or be forgiven.

• He considers counselling, but later his curiosity leads him to a

place of solitude. And maybe, He can achieve atonement here.

• He understands to have faith hence not to lose his way or lose

himself.

• Lost and disposed
• Who to confide in?
• Alcohol and drugs not a solution
• Lack of courage or trust in counselling
• Representations
• The title of the project is presented in the first photo;
• In the third picture we used "Mental Health" text to indicate one of the character's

possibility of healing himself.

• We aimed for a depressing environment, rain, the use of colour black in the original photos

too for a better contrast

who has experienced loss or has an understanding of loss would understand, feel and appreciate these photographs the most
