Through their pictures, they aim to interrogate the stigmas surrounding mental illness and portray often stereotyped subjects through authentic and explorative photography and film. In this way, they hope to represent ‘the best in humanity’, conveying the beauty and fragility within the hidden connections in everyday life.
