Adam Robert Young, Borderline (Student (ATEP 2017))

"I don't want to die, but I will, if I don't do something". These are the words 29 year-old Courtney told me from her hospital bed after another suicide attempt. Courtney has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, a mental illness that can destabilise a person's emotions, relationships with others, and their sense of self, and that is often manifested by self-harming behaviour. These images were produced as I observed Courtney struggling to understand herself and the world around her.

Images have been resized for web display, which may cause some loss of image quality. Note: Original high-resolution images are used for judging.
