This photograph by Edward Honoker portrays "depression". The photograph was purposely taken in black and white. Black and white can symbolize darkness and sadness. If there was color, the photo could have appeared more happier. The subjects face is not visible. The way it is distorted helps show that with depression, your mind is often in a fog. You do not know what is going on in someones head. His body is in a suit. He appears to be well dressed and put together on the outside, but you do not know what the subject is exactly dealing with in his own head. Also, the way his head is distorted can symbolize how confusing depression can be to people who do not have it. Depression is a real and common mental illness.
