How can ones internal thoughts and emotions be portrayed in a photograph?

People oftentimes can't find the words to express how they feel, I wanted my photos to

display that emotion. All of these pieces were created with this central idea because I find how people feel, react, hold in their emotions, and put on a brave face to their specific situations and surroundings is a reflection of who they are and how they deal with difficult situations. I believe each of these pieces can make various connections with people that struggle with anxiety and depression. These pieces demonstrate how many people around the world feel and how it connects us in a very authentic way. I experimented in different ways of showing these concepts by revising my images using layers, words and photoshop.
