How it feels

How It Feels is a series of stop-motion animations that show what it feels like to live with depression.

When someone you love is depressed, it can put a lot of pressure on a relationship. There is often a lack of communication and understanding towards each other.

With How It Feels I want to give people the opportunity to look at the feelings of their loved one more neutrally, separate from the relationship they have with their loved one.

In this way, I hope to create more insight and understanding so that people can relate to each other in an empathetic way.

The animations were created in close collaboration with people who have experience with depression and are personal translations of their experiences. Side by side, these animations show the many ways that people can experience this illness.
