The Dark Side of Romanticisation

An editorial story warning young women how romanticising your life can actually be detrimental to mental health. Soft, dreamlike visuals create a narrative of a false utopia, paired with ribbon teardrops to visually represent how social media can encourage us to romanticise our sadness instead of seeking healing.
