Description
I made an artist book on my best friend, their struggles with mental health, and our friendship. I went with a friendly style with each part having meaning to it. My vision is to share their story in an artistic form. Each text has a different font representing the state of what was felt at the time. I went with pictures so their story could easily be seen and visualized. The colors fade to show the point of life and get brighter as things get better. The blue paper in the background represents sadness and the yellow stitches represents happiness. I learned how you can incorporate small details and metaphors into art easily. Each part of the story can be used as a metaphor and a way to tell a “hidden story”.
