This idea is also based on the idea of using coping mechanisms for mental health and stress anxiety, I have known some people that use smoking as a method to relieve stress and use it as a detraction to keep there minds from thinking of what’s causing issues in their everyday lives.
The difference here though is that even if it’s believed to help psychologically, it causes more physical health issues but despite knowing this, people still take the risks. So this really is an insight piece to.show what lengths people will go to, to help their struggling positions. It’s really to express the importance of mental health and to let people get a view on what making decisions is like when you have mental health.
I do want to try create the leaf forms that are shown in the illustration, so I can start to develop my ideas more and more.
