Sertraline

SERTRALINE, the collection, represents the feeling of being suffocated by the social pressures that feel so prevalent in my mind. Although confident, there comes a humility with putting your personality out for society to judge.
SERTRALINE places an emphasis on my struggles with general anxiety disorder and seasonal depression. Wanting to be colorful and confident all while simultaneously wanting to disappear.
Full disclosure, I am not a “pink person.”

Take a look into my mind. This snapshot of my thesis collection journal shows the thought process I had undergone while creating SERTRALINE, the collection. Featured are various thumbnail sketches.

Pink reminds us of our adolescence and yet it’s one of the most hated colors in the spectrum.
