Erick Cheng, a 15-year-old sophomore, has spent days preparing for Halloween with a unique theme in mind. He used items like old curtains and fake blood bandages, and with the help of his friend, Jiho Park, Cheng crafts photos that represent seasonal depression and loneliness. His creative process involved taking the photo, editing it, and then promoting it. The image captures the essence of this time of year, as well as the underlying theme of the photo with a gloomy, green and dark aesthetic. Cheng’s goal is to use this Halloween project to spread awareness about loneliness and seasonal depression, using his art as a medium to address these important issues.
