🇺🇸 Melissa Spitz | Facing mental health

Coming up next is Melissa Spitz, a photographer / artist living in New York. 

Melissa is the recipient of Magnum's Inge Morath Award (2018), recognizing a female photographer under the age of 30 and in 2017 she was named Instagram Photographer by TIME Magazine.

I landed on Melissa's project: You Have Nothing to Worry About, where she walks us through her childhood life with pictures of her mentally ill mother. 

To me, this project felt beautiful, raw, disturbing and I thought it would be interesting to switch perspective and get the child’s point of view. So in this episode, Melissa will tell us how she lived her childhood with a mentally ill mother and how she looks back on it today. 

I hope you enjoy this episode 💜
