Zoe Adams

Zoe was inspired by the psychological effects of a pandemic on the younger generation – herself included. The film explores various sides of mental health, coming into the world again after years of isolation and how it can take a toll on an individual. Zoe wanted to explore more intimate artwork that can create a unity with others that experience the same things. Not only does this work shine a light on recent events, but it could also give others hope for returning to normal. Not every day is easy and not every day is a struggle. Silver Linings acts like a visual diary, documenting the beauty of life without shying away from its reality. The art has incorporated the artist – something she is not used to within her work; in hopes to not only communicate with the audience but in turn, let go of the struggles she has faced herself. Breaking the stigma of mental health is one of Zoe’s goals. This short film can provide closure for herself and education for generations who may not understand. There is a silver lining in every dark cloud – even after what we’ve experienced as a world.
