I AM NOT MY DIAGNOSIS

INFO

I AM NOT MY DIAGNOSIS is a multimedia project that documents individuals who have received a mental illness diagnosis and aims to explore who they are beyond the label that's been given to them. Each person in the project is photographed in spaces of their choosing, doing the things they love and showcasing their personality. The twist is that each of them is wearing a label that details their diagnosis, but the label is eclipsed by everything else in the frame. Told through flamboyant portraiture, a heartfelt short film, and intimate personal letters from sitters, I Am Not My Diagnosis serves as a powerful and cathartic reminder that these people are so much more than their diagnosis.
