Clever and symbolic work from
Thomas Wightman, a newly graduated graphic designer from Scotland. Amongst his work we are concentrating on 3 of them that focus on mental disorders. He uses books, in an artistic way to draw metaphors between art and the state of mind of the people that are afflicted with these debilitating conditions. He is very insightful choosing to use the book in his work to suggest that when the book is closed everything looks right and everything is contained, but when it is opened the full extent of the condition is in full view. Opening the book represents opening up about the mental condition, dealing with it and getting help.
