Inspired by theoretical texts outlining the concept of “designer as author,” I originated all of the primary elements for this project including the copy, photography, and design. For an added measure of authenticity, I also chose to write about a personal experience during which I first encountered anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. At the time, I was amazed to discover how common they are, so the aim of this project was to reassure others who struggle with the same conditions that they are far from being alone, and to assert that they have good reason to hope.
