Family failed to provide solace; instead, it became a source of stress, anxiety, and a prevailing sadness. Often unspoken in my family, my mother's battle with clinical depression cast a shadow that took years to fully comprehend.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough navigating her own emotions, the project assumes a broader cultural significance, transcending personal narratives to engage with universal discourse on mental health. The visual diary created through photography becomes a testament to the transformative power of art, revealing layers of vulnerability, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of meaning. It underscores the importance of acknowledging mental health challenges within social contexts and highlights the role of artistic expression as a vehicle for healing and understanding. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dana Stirling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3969001595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783969001592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kehrer Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 8.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Dana Stirling","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372845486335,"sku":"9783969001592","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d15d497-6f00-40b6-b686-2401d1a14015.jpg?v=1732727130","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-am-i-sad-dana-stirling-9783969001592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
