My pathway project focused on Stigma, and in relation to this quote, I think Stigma works in the same way. You section those people off who you see as different from yourself and almost dehumanize them. I portrayed what it means and feels to be stigmatized and to be the judged by those who act as on lookers. I want to carry on looking at stigma by focusing on what it means to be sectioned; to me, “Sectioned” is about the connections to people and things around us. Initially, I wanted to portray the issue in a documentary way, and possibly merge my images with surrealist themes. Through pathway I realised that I’m not trying to portray a realistic portion of life, because this issue is not about a realistic interpretation of reality, as it is more imagined, more conceptual. I won’t be focusing purely on mental health, as I want to incorporate other themes and building upon what it means to be judged.
