i(sola)ted

i(sola)ted is a deeply personal and ongoing project through which I portray my emotions and state of mind as an international student living in a new country, surrounded by a new culture and speaking in a different language, trying to adjust while struggling with a steadily deteriorating mental health. From fantasizing about going home to complete breakdowns and numbness, this project has helped me process and somewhat validate the emotions I have been feeling for the past ten months.
