Protest

I want to focus on protest and Mental Health. A protest against the stigma of mental illness.

Playing with imagery that gives the feeling of being trapped.

 

 

I began by protesting against the use of ECT as a treatment of mental illness.

The text plays with the effect of how mental illness was treated in the past, the use of ECT which still happens today. Text is taken from writings that were publised when ECT was introduced first in America; How it was believed that by causing brain damage one could be cured of mental illness.
