Zoe Klimack in Wrath.
I love this photo of Zoe. I love how melancholy she looks and how strikingly violent the words look against her skin. I was tempted to put this in the final cut, but I ended up using two full body shots of her instead - one that signifies the beginning; the other, portraying the character on the cusp of full-blown wrath. I wanted to convey self-deprecation at its most literal. I dug up my old journals - those pages bore witness to my most violent, most self-destructive phases…
This shot (for me, anyway), feels like the aftermath of wrath - that sinking feeling; the bleak and endless void in which the character falls into…

Depressive realism is the proposition that people with depression have a more accurate perception of reality, specifically that they are less affected by the positive illusions of illusory superiority, the illusion of control and optimism bias. It must be understood that this refers specifically to people with borderline or moderate depression — while normal people see things in too positive a light and severely depressed people see things in too negative a light, the "grey" area in between leads to the most accurate perceptions of reality.
