INVISIBLE (2018)
EVERYONE HAS A STORY
ABOUT
This body of work was produced in response to stereotyped depiction of mental illness. High-contrast black and white images of a person screaming, pulling out their hair or sitting in the corner of a dark room are just some examples of the mainstreamed view on the topic.
Being a person who has dealt with mental health issues himself, Skraban captures the feelings of anxiety, tension and pain through a series of still lives in his room.
In a similar way a struggling person often seems to be perfectly fine despite ongoing battles inside, the course of the disease is quite calm itself. Confused, yet making total sense. Anxious, yet perfectly calm. Devastated, yet still managing.
