My take on compassion for college students who suffer from depression and stress.
Then v.s Now 
The Tears Of Emotions
For this project my inspiration were my friends who suffer from depression and stress with University. We all talked about how we felt alone, even though we have the support system of family and friends we felt alone. One day with a chat with my friend she talked the different emotions she went through that day and how she cried about it. That alone gave me the inspiration for the photo on the right. As for the photo on the left I wanted to compare college depression and stress before Covid and then after. I used Zendaya’s head because she is someone I relate to and look up to.
I ended up Interviewing two people both close friends of mine. One is a college graduate and was in school before covid as for the other she’s currently a college student during covid. Click the Button below to see the interview.
