Dissonance

Visualising ADHD isn't straightforward — it affects everyone differently, so there's no single, definite way to show it. This project combines still photography and moving image, since ADHD's non-static nature means some parts of the experience can't be captured from one moment alone.

For each symptom that affects me most, I adapt a different photographic technique — with sound, colour, texture, and typography all shaped by how I experience ADHD itself, from overstimulation to a quieter mindset. Stills capture an expression or scene that reflects how my mind feels in that moment, paired with my own voiceover to keep it personal and raw.

The aim is to place the viewer inside my mind — unbiased, raw, and empathetic.
