Dear Diary

Dear Diary is a photographic project about depression —the kind that erases rather than darkens. It is not black, but pale. It feels like slowly drowning in grey, where everything grows distant, silent, and empty.

Depression is often shown as dramatic, but in reality, it is quiet, repetitive, and nearly colourless. It is a world that fades rather than breaks. You move through it as if inside a glass snowstorm, isolated, weightless, unable to reach out or be reached.

The photographs reflect that state: a slow disappearance, a sense of being submerged beneath ordinary life. They hold exhaustion, shame, desperation, and the wish to stop existing, to dissolve, to rest.

This work does not search for beauty or recovery. It simply stays with what depression feels like from the inside, a suspended space between presence and absence, where living and leaving begin to sound the same.
