About the Environment:
This environment is a bedroom that has been designed to not only reflect the character's personality and mental state but his existing fantasy world that is outside his window. The focus of this project is displaying environmental storytelling, the set design, and the representation of the character.
Mental Health and Psychosis are both important topics that are explored within this environment, With the goal of raising awareness and also giving you an understanding of how the effects of psychosis and mental health can have an effect on their lives and environment.
In addition, this environment aims to try and break the negative stigma of psychosis.
