Keeping Sane in a Chaotic World

DESTINATION: BA Hons. Photography University of the Arts London

For the photographer, ‘Keeping Sane in a Chaotic World” is about the mental chaos that goes on inside our minds in response to what we are surrounded by. This might be the people we socialise with or our environment. A lot of people with chaotic lives tend to keep to themselves and be silent and still, and this tension is something I want to show through my work. Emotions can be temporary and controlled by us, but it is when we give up control that problems grow and begin to consume us. The key to keeping sane in a world of chaos is to stay in control of the only thing we can control which is ourselves.  

The main objective for this project is to find some way of showing the way a person can remain calm whilst having overwhelming and chaotic things happen around them.
